Great read to “see” through the eyes of someone with dementia and note the repetitiveness as his disease progressed. As someone with a family member with dementia it was unique to read these articles written by someone going through the experience.

I received a free copy of, Living with Dementia, by Darce Fardy, from the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Alzheimer's is a horrible robbing people of their memories. Darce Fardy was 81 when he was diagnosed with dementia, he decided to tell people, through his newspaper column, about living with dementia. This was a really interesting and honest read.

Well-worth the read. Dementia is one of the cruelest conditions, and most people know someone affected by it. This collection of columns by Darce Fardy after his dementia diagnosis was a very fascinating, heartbreaking, and, in some ways, optimistic glimpse into the mental state of someone with his condition over about a 6 year period.

Darce's words were very touching, and I admired his optimism and resilience as he wrote about his fears of losing memories of family and friends and of being a burden to his loved ones. I didn't plan on reading this in less than a day, but once I started reading, I found it difficult to stop.

Highly recommend.

As someone who has a family member that dealt with dementia, this was a great and helpful guide I wish I had to help cope and give me advice
