Publisher's Description
Alzheimer's. It barges into your life, breaks your heart, bewilders your mind, disrupts your plans, impacts your finances, and consumes enormous amounts of time and energy. When someone you love has Alzheimer's, you need more than just information on the disease--you need a break. You need a laugh. You need a friend by your side who knows exactly what you're going through. Award-winning humorist Dave M. Meurer is that friend. Packed with practical information--like how to get the DMV to take away the car keys or how you shouldn't insist on correcting your loved one's misperceptions--and plenty of true stories from his own experiences navigating life with a loved one who suffers from Alzheimer's, New Every Day offers hard-earned wisdom and even some badly needed comic relief for readers journeying down this difficult road. With compassion born of experience, Meurer helps caregivers develop the ability to relax, adapt, and even sometimes laugh again.

“I found New Every Day to be both informative and entertaining. I appreciated the information on Alzheimer’s/dementia issues and on all the issues involved in caring for loved ones. It was helpful to read about others’ similar issues and how they handled them. Dave’s book also showed that it is helpful to keep a good sense of humor and how to do that respectfully.”
“In a word, this book is fantastic! Dave has just the right balance of lighthearted humor when permissible, insight when needed, and valuable information throughout—all presented with charm and practicality. I loved it!”
“Dave Meurer’s latest book, New Every Day: Navigating Alzheimer’s with Grace and Compassion, is a heartfelt and helpful guide to any family who has been touched by the long and painful journey of Alzheimer’s. Written in Dave’s signature style, this book delivers, and it takes some of the mystery out of this disease while giving hope, compassion, and a whole lot of grace to those on the front lines.”
“from someone who has been there. This book is like sitting down with a good friend, swapping stories, having a good cry, but also laughing together at some of your shared experiences. As a therapist, I highly recommend it. Laughter truly is good for the soul.”
