Momma'S Chuckles: A Heartfelt and Humorous Journey Through Alzheimer'S

The journey of Alzheimer's with a loved one is difficult. More and more caregivers are deciding to not let them walk that path alone. Their pain is your pain. Their sadness is your sadness. Their anger is your anger. Their confusion is your confusion. When they no longer have their memories, you share yours with them. Sometimes there is a glimmer, a sparkle, that reaches out of their darkness. There's a happy, shared memory that, for a moment, makes it easier.

In Momma's Chuckle, author Cheryl L. Emery shares the special memories made as she helped care for her mother who was suffering from Alzheimer's. Throughout the journey, Emery journaled the happy, silly, and amusing things her mother said. For Emery, it helped to tame the disease that was taking her mother from her.

What began as a series of Facebook posts has emerged into this tribute to Emery's mother and her witty humor and insight. Emery shares their story to support others who travel on this difficult, but rewarding, journey.
