520    "Dementia is an illness that causes no physical pain. But 
       just ask anyone who cares about someone with Alzheimer's 
       or another dementia if their heart isn't aching. The pain 
       in dementia comes from feeling hopeless, alone, or 
       disconnected from loved ones--but a broken relationship 
       can be healed. This book is for family members and friends,
       for spouses, caregivers, and those who simply care. It 
       outlines a path to a life with dementia that includes more
       life and less illness. With imagination, compassion, 
       empathy, and quiet humor, the real-life stories in 
       Dementia Together show you how to build a healthy dementia
       relationship. Because there are ways to communicate that 
       result in greater capacity to receive as well as to 
       provide both warm connection and practical collaboration. 
       Living with dementia gives everyone an opportunity to grow
       their hearts bigger. This book shows you how"--|cProvided

       relationship with someone who has dementia, this book is 
       for you. Dementia is an illness that causes no physical 
       pain. Yet ask anyone who cares about someone with
