Deborah J. Taranto thought when her mother joined her in New York, sheâd finally be able to help her maintain her health. What she hadnât considered was how sheâd maintain her own health: Her motherâs deteriorating mind and constant demands made it almost impossible to get anything done. In this memoir, which includes numerous journal entries, she relives the guilt of struggling to take care of an elderly parent with Alzheimerâs who managed to raise a house full of children without complaints. From the classic behavior symptoms of dementia to her motherâs hilarious outbursts, she faces her motherâs mortalityâas well as her ownâhead on, weaving symptoms into vignettes that highlight everyday challenges. Her account reveals the daily struggle of what itâs like to care for a loved one with Alzheimerâs and how the experience can affect family members long after a loved one has died. If youâre a caregiver or family member struggling to help someone navigate their final years with dignity, youâll be inspired by the humorous and poignant tales in Nine Ways to Crazy.
