An Iceberg in Paradise
By:Nancy Avery Dafoe
Published on 2015-04-01 by SUNY Press

Offers a healing and insightful examination of the issues involved in Alzheimer’s for family and caregivers. In this evocative memoir, Nancy Avery Dafoe shares the heart-wrenching experience of caring for her ailing mother as she struggled, and ultimately lost her battle, with Alzheimer’s disease. Weaving poetry throughout, Dafoe tells her family’s story in the hope of helping those who are navigating the murky waters of Alzheimer’s. She presents different approaches and practical advice for dealing with the difficult life transition that occurs when parents become ill. At its center, An Iceberg in Paradise is not only a tribute to love in the face of loss but also an exploration of memory, our human connections, and holding on until there is nothing left to hold. “Beautifully written, An Iceberg in Paradise expresses Nancy Avery Dafoe’s very personal experience as a family member observing the slow yet relentless failing of her beloved mother. I loved Dafoe’s honest way of writing about the pain, confusion, anger, frustration, and sorrow of her journey with her mother and her mother’s ‘passage.’ This is a personal, very human memoir that anyone dealing with Alzheimer’s in a parent or spouse would find helpful and supportive.” — Alison Jacob, LCSW “I found this book particularly touching on many levels. As we baby boomers age and our parents are living longer in general, we all need information and to hear others’ stories of their experiences with this as it could well affect many of us on a very personal level.” — Mark Marshall, LCSW
