It helps to take away some of the mystery, and reminds us that even though the disease has changed the mind and body, the person with dementia is still there, and still loves us. She has illustrated an important message that people with dementia might not remember the events, but they will always remember the feelings that they experienced... I highly recommend this book to families and schools." Recommended and Endorsed by Dementia and Alzheimer's Professionals and Families on the Dementia Journey "A very sweet way to present the challenges a loved one faces when someone dear to them is going through this disease. I found that many aspects of dementia / Alzhei- mer's were touched upon. I see this process every day in my profession. One of my very favorite sayings is "to love them through it". This is a shining example of doing just that-loving someone through it." - Cindy Swanda LPN Memory Support Director, Fremont, Nebraska, USA "... The book has been a blessing for me-I think for the past two years taking care of my mom, I sometimes have a picture in my mind that is full of grey-and oh so dreary! This has lifted my spir- it up and I find that nowadays, even when I think of my mom, the picture has become more colorful." - Serene Low, Singapore Five Star Reviews from Readers' Favorite "...

The New York Times Bestseller From one of the country’s most recognizable journalists: How becoming a grandmother transforms a woman’s life. After four decades as a reporter, Lesley Stahl’s most vivid and transformative experience of her life was not covering the White House, interviewing heads of state, or researching stories at 60 Minutes. It was becoming a grandmother. She was hit with a jolt of joy so intense and unexpected, she wanted to “investigate” it—as though it were a news flash. And so, using her 60 Minutes skills, she explored how grandmothering changes a woman’s life, interviewing friends like Whoopi Goldberg, colleagues like Diane Sawyer (and grandfathers, including Tom Brokaw), as well as the proverbial woman next door. Along with these personal accounts, Stahl speaks with scientists and doctors about physiological changes that occur in women when they have grandchildren; anthropologists about why there are grandmothers, in evolutionary terms; and psychiatrists about the therapeutic effects of grandchildren on both grandmothers and grandfathers. Throughout Becoming Grandma, Stahl shares stories about her own life with granddaughters Jordan and Chloe, about how her relationship with her daughter, Taylor, has changed, and about how being a grandfather has affected her husband, Aaron. In an era when baby boomers are becoming grandparents in droves and when young parents need all the help they can get raising their children, Stahl’s book is a timely and affecting read that redefines a cherished relationship.
