Did you know there are over 100 subtypes of dementia-and that an early, accurate diagnosis can make all the difference?
Lewy Body Dementia (LBD) is the second most common form of dementia, yet it remains the least known and most misdiagnosed. Many of its symptoms go beyond memory loss, showing up as physical changes-like a shuffling walk, incontinence, trouble swallowing, and frequent UTIs-yet these crucial warning signs are often overlooked.
In this deeply personal and eye-opening memoir, Kathy Chan shares the heartbreaking journey of her mother's final days with Lewy Body Dementia. Through raw honesty and reflection, she reveals over 20 critical signs she missed, hoping to empower others to recognize them for their loved ones.
But this is more than a book about dementia-it's about relationships, regret, and redemption. Through a complicated mother-daughter bond, Kathy explores the power of presence, forgiveness, and making peace before it's too late.
- Pay attention to the early, often-missed signs of Lewy Body Dementia
- Advocate for proper diagnosis and treatment for your loved ones.
- Show up with awareness, compassion, and love-no matter how complicated your relationship may be.
Arm yourself with knowledge. Lead with your heart. It's never too late to make a difference.
