Commentary
I just wanted you to know the wonderful thing that has happened because of my book, We Rage, We Weep and your review in the (BCBW Summer) issue. A gentleman in the Nanaimo area who lost his wife to Alzheimer's disease contacted me to purchase the book. A correspondence via letters and eventually email resulted. A meeting, phone calls and more meetings. Attending the National Alzheimer Conference in Calgary and now our engagement. We are to be married in August. He is a wonderful man and we plan to become involved with the Alzheimer Society in the Nanaimo area.
I do believe fairy-tales sometimes come true!! Life is wonderful! Thank you so much.

Article
In 1995 June Moulton's beloved husband Rusty succumbed to Alzheimer's disease at age 80 after a lengthy struggle. The Burns Lake children's author now offers her down-to-earth directions and solace for relatives coping with the nightmarish disease of Alzheimer's, particularly in rural situations, in We Rage, We Weep.
"It was incomprehensible to me that a man who'd been a mathematical whiz all his life couldn't calculate his own age,"; she says. "It was heartbreaking to see routine tasks become difficult, to witness the frustration that results when the 'simple' becomes inexplicably complex.";
Repeating stories. Misplacing things. Financial confusion. Radical mood shifts. Personality changes. Decreased judgement. Loss of initiative. It was an unstoppable degradation. Near the onset, Moulton worried that Rusty, an outdoorsman, would disappear into the bush.
"After he attempted to eat his soup with a fork,"; she recalls, "I made a habit of setting his place at the table with only the necessary utensils."; But all of Moulton's love and attention couldn't prevent the inevitable. Now she is the facilitator of a local Alzheimer's support group and a self-publisher c/o Box 539 Burns Lake, B.C. V0J 1E0 ($12.95 plus postage). 0-9680997-3-4
