A Book for Spousal Caregivers
 

Described by one reviewer as a “powerful memoir of the truth of enduring love,” Courageous Hearts by Cyndy Noel does a thorough job at documenting the journey of a spousal caregiver dealing with her husband’s dementia. It is also an unexpected love story.
 
 
 
 

More Spousal Perspectives

 

Just like Cyndy Noel in Courageous Hearts, Liz S. is the spouse of a loved one with dementia. In the collection of video shorts found in St. John's Dementia Resource playlist, Liz and others share personal accounts of being a caregiver of a partner with dementia.
