You Have To Laugh Or Else You'll Cry

This book is a biography of my late Aunt Alice, who, like millions of other people developed Alzheimer's disease. I was responsible for her the last few years of her life after she could no longer live alone. She had quite a sense of humor and could also be difficult.

I "inherited" my aunt in 1996 and so much has changed since then. I've included many helpful websites and also provide a comparison of costs in the different kinds of facilities that care for Alheimer's patients. I also describe the increase in costs from 1996 to the present for each of these kinds of facilities.

Anyone who has ever had a loved one with dementia and/or Alzheimer's disease will benefit from and enjoy reading this book.
