Blue, Blue Sky: Living with dementia and dying with hope - Tapa blanda

Blue, Blue Sky provides a very candid glimpse into the life of a family facing illness and death. A devoted husband willing to step into a new role and a daughter determined to care for her mother who has been diagnosed with dementia, work together to find solutions to an ever changing set of problems. The demands of caregiving try their patience and test their physical endurance, but the reward is peace and precious time spent together. They must put aside fears and overcome emotions as they journey the well-traveled, but unfamiliar path. From denial to death, living with dementia or Alzheimer’s makes it a challenge to find balance in every aspect of life. Preserving dignity, modesty, independence, and choice becomes more difficult as the disease progresses. As physical strength diminishes these caregivers find strength in their Christian faith and the hope of heaven. They find a way to enjoy each day even when it is something as simple as just sitting in the warm sun under the blue, blue sky.
