520    Overwhelmed family caregivers will find Gibbons's book 
       immensely and immediately useful. Even though Gibbons's 
       family had the financial resources to weather the nine 
       years her mother, Jean, lived with Alzheimer's, the 
       feelings of pain and helplessness were unavoidable. 
       Gibbons and her father, siblings and children share what 
       they learned in dealing with Jean's decline and eventual 
       placement in the dementia unit of a nursing home. While 
       memory loss is the focus of the book's first section, the 
       rest offers excellent advice for family caregivers on how 
       to take care of themselves both physically and emotionally,
       from exercises to keep one strong enough to aid the 
       patient to dealing with guilt and denial around a loved 
       one's memory loss.
