Comments about the book
"Sometimes Ya Gotta Laugh":

"The book is a refreshing heads-up at what the world of dementia is really like. It is a reminder to join in that world and enjoy the lighter moments with the person and family. It is a gentle reminder to adjust your tolerance and patience level, enjoy the moment, and go with the flow---low, slow, and mellow. It is a stress-reducer and a spirits-raiser. It enables caregivers to understand a little bit more, to accept a little bit more, and to enjoy a little bit more. Every caregiver should read it!"

- Linda Beaudoin. RN

"This book sits at the corner of my desk all the time! It is the kind of book that I pick up as I'm going into a meeting, or planning a talk or presentation, to look for a "bridge" exercise, a story or information, or some pearl of Karen's that will make my point easier to remember, more real to my staff, or just more fun to learn! It is a must for managers who are helping others learn about dementia care! Thanks for sharing with us Karen."

- Beth Meyer-Arnold, RN "

Thank you for your book. I enjoyed it so much that I am buying 5 more copies to give to my friends."

- Family caregiver "

We stayed up all night and laughed and cried. We read the book all together. It is really great and thank you for writing it."
