Review "It's absolutely amazing, I think it should be compulsory reading for everybody at the start of dementia. I wish it had been around when my husband started developing it." -- Elizabeth Cox, Wife and Caregiver "This easy to read, sensible and insightful book, offers practical information and advice simply and compassionately given for all stages of the condition. This will be a great resource which can be picked up in times of need and can be used to jot down questions, ideas and useful strategies along the journey that can be helpful reminders when talking with healthcare professionals. Knowing that you are not alone on this journey and that there are people out there like Jane with the expertise, knowledge, empathy and the passion to offer this support means a great deal. Jane lets us know that none of us are experts, but with kindness and wisdom helps us to do our best and advises that we all need to be kind to ourselves and ask for help when we need it." -- Carol Maddock, Daughter "Jane's compassion and warmth shines through her words. I believe that it will be a comfort to families/ caregivers who are experiencing the fear of a diagnosis and will offer an anchor when they're unsure of how to communicate. I think it will also be a helpful tool for professionals to help them educate extended family and friends to help them understand what's happening and manage expectations. Jane has a real knack for taking the 'edge' off a difficult subject through her reassuring tone and practical tips. This gives people a pathway to follow through the 'mist' as you would say- a guiding light."-- Mari Evans Mental Health Nurse Consultant "Finding the Light In Dementia has been invaluable a Returns: In the unlikely event that you would like to return your purchase, we allow returns that are processed within 30 days of date of purchase.
