Welcome to Litsy!

Alice is a brilliant Harvard Professor, wife and mother that has to face life with early onset Alzheimer diseased when she's diagnosed at only fifty years old. Alice's curse is the reader's blessing, there's no rush to move through the pages, to know what happens next, because sadly Alzheimer doesn't have a cure, doesn't have hope, you just have to enjoy every minute of consciousness until the darkness arrives. ⬇️

Faces of Alzheimer‘s and those that love them.

Sometimes you laugh with them, sometimes you cry for them. Most of all and most importantly, you love them through it.

This book gave me hope; I saw it on the library shelf and knew it was different from everything else I‘ve read about the disease. I felt it so important, I got my own copy and have saved the ReCODE website; I have shared the information with others. We know there are many contributing factors to Alzheimer‘s—but what if there was a way to hit back against every one of them? Amyloid forms in the brain but the brain isn‘t trying to attack⬇️

Certains diront qu‘il faut joindre l‘utile à l‘agréable, mais pourquoi ne pas joindre l‘agréable à l‘agréable… Parce qu‘ils ne sont pas toujours compatibles. Impossible malgré tout de laisser tomber cette magnifique brique bleue, qui éclipse la musique d‘ambiance, les mouvements périphériques des grimpeurs et les conversations parfois loufoques des autres usagers du centre.

Hi everyone👋I‘m still around, still breathing, just in the worst book slump of my life & honestly, a little bit of depression too. But I‘m fighting back & going to try and force a few chapters a day to get my book brain back into gear. Books are still coming in so if I don‘t try and read some soon, I‘ll either die under a book avalanche or the hubby will throttle me! So hopefully, I‘ll be around a bit more!🤞🤞🤞(my grandbubba jumping puddles👆)

Faces of Alzheimer‘s and those that love them. Xmas 2023.

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join in if you want!

Faces of Alzheimer‘s. Almost all of us have known or know someone who has had/has this disease. If not, you will. There is no way to prepare yourself for it when it presents itself. Not with books you‘ve read, documentaries and movies you‘ve watched. I know this because I‘m there. Working in hospice has taught me a lot, and the time spent with my patients who had/have Alzheimer‘s and then Dementia—doesn‘t phase me. I am just there with ⬇️
