The Sea is Wide: A Memoir of Caregiving

The Sea is Wide: A Memoir of Caregiving

When Rundy Purdy was twenty-four he began caring for his grandfather who was sick with Alzheimer's. This started a three year battle against inevitable decline, a journey across confused days and long nights.

With compassion, hope, and a strong dose of gritty realism, The Sea is Wide tells the story of how a grandfather and his grandson crossed the wide sea of Alzheimer's. It is a tale of losses, but even more of things found in spite of what is lost. It is about giving bedtime stories, hugs, and a lot of coffee. It is a story of laughter even in the presence of sadness.

The sea of Alzheimer's is wide, but it can be crossed. In writing that is by turns uplifting and poignant, Rundy shares his journey of perseverance and love.

Louise O'Keefe, PhD, CRNP says, â€œIt is a must-read for those taking care of loved ones suffering from Alzheimerâ€™s and for those in the medical and nursing profession. I will definitely recommend this book to my patients and nursing students.â€
