BJ Garry became an author at her mom's request. "Please, Barbara Jean, write a book about how we got through Alzheimer's disease together. Will you? I want to help others who are suffering from this disease and their caregivers."Who could refuse their mother's dying wish? Together we'd navigated scary waters with no map. We learned a lot along the way. We learned what worked, and suffered through what didn't work. Why not hep others avoid the pitfalls we encountered? In my business career, I served 10 years as a board member and one as a President for a hospice organization so I had experience with the dying and caregivers. I had management experience in publishing and in healthcare benefits management for over 18 years. Most relevant, was being a caregiver for my grandmother, my mother-in-law, and now my own mother!
