Requiem for the Status Quo (First Printing) | Irene Frances Olson

1 post | 1 read

Family caregivers are oftentimes ruthlessly challenged by uninvolved family members who are quick to condemn, but reticent to offer assistance. Such is the case for Colleen Strand, a widow who recently found her own footing who takes on the task of caring for her father, Patrick Quinn, recently diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.Her older brother, Jonathan, criticizes Colleen at every turn and verbally abuses the father when he has the gall to exhibit symptoms of his disease. In short, Jonathan travels down the road of denial, leaving Colleen to deal with all matters regarding their father's care.Connected tenuously to a father who barely remembers her and a brother who has become an enigma, Colleen faces the moving target that is Alzheimer's disease, determined to clothe her father with the dignity he deserves, while capturing the far too fleeting moments of time with him.

Excellent, fantastic book. My dad passed in 2007 from complications from Alzheimer's and quite a bit of the book hit nerves for me. That being said, I'd really recommend this book for all caregivers, especially for those that care for dementia/Alzheimer's patients.
