Many people reach their fifties to discover they now become the parent to their parents. This collection of short stories records the pain of seeing intelligent, capable people becoming more mentally feeble day by day, and of the sorrow of being unable to help them. As reflected in the title, themes of loss for carers and sufferers predominate: loss of capacity, loss of friends and family, loss of a working life, of energy, time and motivation. One feels alone, and there is very little to laugh about.

All carers of dementia sufferers will relate to the incidents and situations described: losing hearing aids, shopping, sibling tensions, medical appointments and family gatherings.The underlying grief of each story is embraced with humour and compassion. If you are struggling caring for a dementia sufferer, give yourself a break. Read these stories and enjoy a guilt-free chuckle.
