Gift of Alzheimer’s
The Gift of Alzheimer’s - New Insights into its Potential and Care
This trailblazing book brings insight and understanding to Alzheimer’s and sheds new light on this devastating disease. I am a psychotherapist and healer, and I documented the evolving relationship with my mother when she had Alzheimer’s. In the book I interpret what she was saying and provide a moving account of our journey together. It is a multidimensional story that demonstrates the healing power of love and how, by being open and seeking meaning, we can find wisdom in the midst of confusion, and freedom from suffering, and even bliss, in other world dimensions.
This book will change how you perceive Alzheimer’s and dementia; what you do, and how you do it, enabling wonderful new heart and soul connections. Your Gift.

A perfectly wonderful book that provides us with a window into the deepest aspects of this disease. In this remarkable book Maggie La Tourelle offers her first-person account of such an experience with her mother.
Neale Donald Walsch, author of Conversations with God series
This book takes one to a deep level of understanding that could only come from personal observation. Maggie La Tourelle describes the gradual stripping away of personality by Alzheimer’s, leaving the essential central core, as if one could see into the self and what is beyond. She gives a moving account of this dissolution process and the vital comfort and support that a loving and understanding relationship can give to the Alzheimer’s sufferer. Particularly interesting are the many features of the illness she describes that echo the NDE (near death experience) and the experiences many people report as they approach death. These include the “thinning of the veil”, which removes some barrier to another consciousness that is there in everyday normal life, and the feeling that there are supportive, though unknown, presences always with you. A truly remarkable book which shows great insight and understanding and will be of inestimable help to anyone caring for someone with the disease.
