About the Author:
Lianna Marie was her mother’s caregiver and advocate for 30 year, including eight years with dementia. She says her calling is to help people find hope in the dark times and inspire them to live their life to the fullest. Toward that end, Lianna has written three books about caregiving for someone with Parkinson’s Disease, including:
- Everything You Need to Know About Parkinson’s Disease (2005, revised 2015)
- Everything You Need to Know About Caregiving for Parkinson’s Disease (2016, revised 2020)
- The Complete Guide for People with Parkinson’s Disease and Their Loved Ones (2020)
And Lianna is working on her fourth book “The Parkinson’s Path, Finding Your Way on the Emotional Journey of Parkinson’s Disease.”
Lianna also founded AllAboutParkinsons.com, a site for people with Parkinson’s, their families, and their caregivers where you can read posts and download her FREE 22-page ebook “Practical Parkinson’s Tips,” with suggestions to make living with Parkinson’s easier and safer.
