Please Don't Forget Me Tom Pearson

Please Don't Forget Me by Tom Pearson is inspiring, heartbreaking, beautiful, and real. Above all, this memoir is a deeply compelling love story that illustrates the tremendous power and beauty of love, loyalty, and commitment. It also describes the tragic realities that caregivers face while caring for loved ones through the various stages of Alzheimer's disease until death, and on the difficult choices and challenges that caregivers must face along the way. The narrative is not just about the trials of caregiving. It is an account about love, about the woman who transformed Tom, and about spirituality and relationships. It is a true story, based upon real occurrences, as seen through Tom's eyes. This nonfiction book chronicles Lynne's and Tom's lives, from inception until Lynne's passing and beyond. You will find a bit of humor and no small measure of drama in their lives along the way. Tom Pearson cared for his wife Lynne from the time of her diagnosis of early on-set Alzheimer's at age 50 until her passing at age 63. He wrote Please Don't Forget Me to honour his brave wife and to help others facing similar challenges. Tom's purpose in sharing Lynne's courageous journey was to remind families and friends, in moments of despair, that there is hope. Tom will donate part of the proceeds of each book to the Alzheimer's cause.
