Still There
A Catholic Neurologist on Dementia, Faith, and Caring for Those We Love
Tae Ho Guak, MD · Neurologist, 25 years in neurology
“I don’t think Mom is in there anymore.” Families caring for someone with dementia say it quietly, on an ordinary day, and Dr. Tae Ho Guak, a Catholic neurologist who has spent twenty-five years with these patients and their families, wrote this book to answer it.
From the day of diagnosis to the last days and beyond, he takes up the questions families actually bring, from the car keys and the care facility to Communion, Confession, the Anointing of the Sick, feeding tubes and hospice, and he closes with what he has seen many times at the bedside: people deep in dementia who, in their last days, suddenly know their families again.
