Parkinson's disease doesn't just affect one person — it reshapes an entire partnership. Loving Someone With Parkinson's is a compassionate, practical guide created specifically for spouses and partners navigating this journey together.

This book explains Parkinson's clearly and without medical jargon, helping you understand what's happening now and what may come next. It offers realistic guidance for managing symptoms across early, mid, and later stages — including mobility changes, tremors, freezing episodes, sleep disturbances, cognitive shifts, and medication timing — all while preserving dignity, independence, and connection.

You'll also find support for the emotional side of Parkinson's: mood changes, depression, anxiety, personality shifts, and the strain these challenges can place on intimacy, communication, and marriage. The book provides tools for navigating medical appointments, advocating effectively, making safety decisions, and planning ahead for legal, financial, and long-term care needs.

Built into the guide are practical working sections — symptom trackers, medication logs, exercise and mobility records, caregiver notes, and crisis planning sheets — so you're not just learning, you're actively supported.

This is not a book about giving up. It's about adapting together, protecting your relationship, and finding steadiness and meaning as life changes.
