Cynthia D. Kline has released a new book that’s shedding light on the reality of caring for a loved one with dementia. Her book, ‘The Wake Up Call: A Memoir on Dementia’s Harsh Reality and Navigating it Through Love and Loss’, is both a memoir and a guide that serves to empower those who are currently in the caregiver role.

Statistics from the World Health Organization cite that more than 55 million people around the world are living with dementia. There are more than 11 million people serving as unpaid caregivers in the United States, with most of these being loved ones. Kline found herself in this role when her partner of 15 years was diagnosed with rapid declining dementia. She cared for her partner’s every need around the clock for five months until he passed.

As part of her grieving process, Kline felt the need to help others who were on the journey she’d just been on. ‘The Wake Up Call: A Memoir on Dementia’s Harsh Reality and Navigating it Through Love and Loss’ is strikingly raw and real, giving readers a true look at what the day-to-day of caring for a loved one with dementia is like. She openly shares her ups and downs, the dark moments, and the glimmers of hope. With her book, readers get an empowering blueprint for how to cope and how to handle those ups and downs.

‘The Wake Up Call: A Memoir on Dementia’s Harsh Reality and Navigating it Through Love and Loss’ made its official debut on October 5, 2023, and is available via book retailers including Amazon and Goodreads.

On Amazon, Kline’s book is trending in the top 100 books in the “Aging Medical Conditions & Diseases” category. Readers have so far given perfect reviews, with one recent reader sharing, “Cynthia’s story of all the terrible things that could and did happen is something that we need to know beforehand when affected by someone’s dementia. The way it was written drew me in and didn’t let go.”

Through this heart-wrenching, sweetly sorrowful story, readers get a rare glimpse into the reality of dementia caregiving. Learn more by visiting the book’s page on Amazon.
