Drawing on firsthand caregiving experience, the book addresses communication, emotional resilience, caregiver well-being and the small moments of connection that can still matter deeply
Oxford, MA – Oct 01, 2026 – Caring for someone with dementia often begins with practical questions. Has the medication been taken? Is the home safe? What needs to happen today? How should a difficult evening be handled?
Then come the questions that are much harder to answer. How to communicate when familiar words no longer come easily? How to stay patient when both people are exhausted? And how does a caregiver continue showing up for someone they love without slowly disappearing from their own life?
Author CMarieF brings those questions to the heart of Dementia Survival Guide for Caregivers: Essential Tips to Improve Communication, Overcome Challenges With Compassion, Find Moments of Joy and Make Time for Personal Care, now available on Amazon in Kindle and hardcover formats.
The book grew from CMarieF’s own experience caring for her mother, who was in her mid-80s and living with dementia. Over more than two years of caregiving, ordinary moments became lessons in patience, communication, resilience and the importance of remaining present.
