We Called Him Al: When The Person You Love Has Alzheimer’s Disease

Description

By Patricia M O’Connell

“We Called Him Al” is an invitation for readers to journey with the author and her wife, Vivian, through the great medical challenge that is Alzheimer’s disease. Using poetry and prose, Vivian’s story of the last twenty-eight months of her life unfolds as a prayer more than a memoir. For those souls afflicted with Alzheimer’s and the loved ones who care for them, “We Called Him Al” is the voice of faith and hope, asserting that love is stronger than death.
