There is a grief that begins before the final breath.

It creeps in quietly when the person you love forgets your name.

When their smile no longer meets recognition.

When you're still holding their hand, but they’re slipping further away.

In A Caregiver’s Tips: My Wife Had Alzheimer’s Disease, Fred Buse does not just recount this journey—he invites you inside it. This tender, heart-rending memoir, released by Author’s Tranquility Press, is the true story of one man’s unwavering devotion to the woman he promised never to leave.

Available now on Amazon, this book will not only break your heart—it will hold it.

The Pain of Watching Her Fade—And Staying Anyway

Fred’s wife, Dot, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 1997. From that moment, Fred became more than her husband—he became her nurse, her protector, her reality.

Through lost memories, sleepless nights, silent mornings, and sun-downing evenings, Fred never walked away. He chose to stay, even when she no longer knew who he was. Because love, real love, remembers when memory cannot.

134 Lessons Whispered From the Edge of Loss

This is not a clinical resource. It is a testimony. It is a journal of love, loss, and fierce grace. With 134 gentle, practical, and honest tips, Fred speaks directly to caregivers—the unseen, the exhausted, the quietly heroic.

You'll find advice on:

• Preparing your life legally before the disease steals understanding

• How to soothe hallucinations, prevent injuries, and protect dignity

• What to do when she accuses you of being a stranger

• Why music matters. Why scent matters. Why patience always matters.

• And how to let go with tenderness when the time comes

This book is for the caregiver who cries in the shower.

For the partner who answers the same question 12 times in an hour.

For the son, the daughter, the friend — who just wants to do it right.

You’ll read this book and think: Finally. Someone understands.
