When Ruth Colgan's father passed away, her mother started acting strangely, and at first the family "thought it was grief," according to Ruth.
Although her mother was given a diagnosis of cerebral fluid, it was unclear whether this or Alzheimer's disease was the root of her memory loss. A lumbar puncture was suggested to her, warning that it "could leave her worse, make her better, or... she could die on the table." She objected to the treatment.
Although "it got harder to deal with" as her mother's memory deteriorated, Colgan insists that the book also contains "funny moments."
In order to cope with "losing my best friend," "I wrote the book as a form of therapy."
Even though it was exhausting, spending every day with her was fulfilling. We sobbed, we laughed, and by the time it was over, she had no idea who I was.
The book offers some helpful advice along the way, including a chapter on guidance regarding nursing homes and paperwork, and attempts to aid people by letting them know "they're not alone." It is a manual of helpful hints, or small things you can do to get through it. Things that people truly don't tell you.
Alzeheimer's Stole My Mam will make you laugh and make you cry.
"I was grieving for my Mam - she wasn't gone, but the woman I knew was... she didn't know me or even who she was". Alzeheimer's Stole My Mam
