What is Alzheimer’s?
What causes Alzheimer’s?
What does it cost to care for an Alzheimer’s patient?
When is Alzheimer’s usually diagnosed?
Is Alzheimer’s genetic?
How long can a person live with Alzheimer’s?

Nothing can prepare someone to be a caregiver for a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease. In Dying With Open Eyes, Dincecco captures her touching story of surviving one of the toughest experiences of her life, and how she found comfort, peace, and finally—happiness.
