The Elderwise Way
In The Elderwise Way, authors Sandy Sabersky and Ruth Neuwald Falcon eloquently outline a “different approach” to life with dementia…
An approach that opens the heart and mind to the awareness that cognitive losses do not eradicate the essence of a person. It opens the reader to the possibility that someone with memory loss can still expand in ways of the heart. Though relationships will change, they can still be meaningful and loving.
“The Elderwise Way is an invaluable handbook for family members, caregivers and for professionals of all kinds who work with frail elders. It is a wise and contemplative book that gently encourages all of us to think differently about the elders we know and love, and also about what we want our own lives to look like when we reach old age.
The Elderwise Way affirms what those of us who have walked this path with a family member or friend knows: essence is immutable, regardless of the physical or cognitive changes they have endured. I read this book with joy.”
