Casey never expected her life to change so drastically, so terribly. She never expected her beloved husband Richard to get sick. She never expected to become his caretaker, but when Richard is diagnosed with dementia and Alzheimer's, Casey must find a way to evolve. It's horrible to watch Richard fade away, but even worse is the thought of losing the man she loves. As Casey's emotional health plummets, she begins to learn that she can't be a caretaker by herself. It takes a village to stay strong-a village of support as she takes her next steps. Casey's Village is a compilation of truth and fiction. Author Sandra Hopper wrote this as catharsis from her own personal pain but also to give hope and support to others traveling a similar journey.
