520    "Caring for a Loved One with Dementia is a unique and 
       compassionate guide that offers an effective mindfulness-
       based dementia care (MBDC) program to help you meet your 
       own needs and lower stress levels while caring for your 
       loved one.Caring for a loved one with dementia can be 
       extremely stressful. This essential guide provides skills 
       for dealing with the accompanying emotional and physical 
       stress, and offers tools to help you manage your own needs,
       in addition to the needs of your loved one. Dementia is a 
       cruel disease that can leave both the sufferer--and those 
       who care about them--reeling. But in the midst of the pain,
       the mindfulness practices in this book will help you find 
       strength and meaning in each moment you spend with your 
       loved one.The unique program in this book addresses two of
       the most important needs caregivers face: stress reduction
       and greater ease in providing care. In addition, you will 
       learn to approach your care with a calm, centered presence,
       respond to your loved one instead of reacting, and learn 
       to connect with your loved one beyond their words. Perhaps
       most importantly, you will learn to effectively manage the
       grief, anger, depression, and other emotions that are 
       often associated with dementia care.Both practical and 
       compassionate, this book will be a comfort during your 
       loved one's illness"--|cProvided by publisher.
