Alzheimer's doesn't arrive all at once.
It unfolds - slowly, quietly, and in stages.
In The 7 Stages of Alzheimer's Disease: Walking Betty Home, Joshua Pettit shares both a clear explanation of each stage of Alzheimer's and the deeply personal lessons he learned while caring for his mother for eleven years.
This is more than a medical overview. It is a real-world guide from a son who walked through every phase - from the first subtle memory lapses to full-time caregiving and final goodbyes.
Inside, you'll find:
- A simple breakdown of all seven stages of Alzheimer's
- What's happening in the brain - explained in plain language
- Practical caregiving insight for each stage
- Emotional support for families navigating dementia
- Hard-earned lessons from 11 years as a hands-on caregiver
If you are caring for a parent, spouse, or loved one with Alzheimer's...
If you are wondering what stage they are in...
If you feel overwhelmed, uncertain, or afraid of what's ahead...
This book will help you understand the journey - and remind you that love can endure even as memory fades.
