From the award-winning journalist and author, a lyrical, raw and humane investigation of dementia that explores both the journeys of the people who live with the condition and those of their loved ones After a diagnosis of dementia, Nicci Gerrard's father, John, continued to live life on his own terms, alongside the disease. But when an isolating hospital stay precipitated a dramatic turn for the worse, Gerrard, an award-winning journalist and author, recognized that it was not just the disease, but misguided protocol and harmful practices that cause such pain at the end of life. Gerrard was inspired to seek a better course for all who suffer because of the disease. The Last Ocean is Gerrard's investigation into what dementia does to both the person who lives with the condition and to their caregivers. Dementia is now one of the leading causes of death in the West, and this necessary book will offer both comfort and a map to those walking through it. While she begins with her father's long slip into forgetting, Gerrard expands to examine dementia writ large. Gerrard gives raw but literary shape both to the unimaginable loss of one's own faculties, as well as to the pain of their loved ones. Her lens is unflinching, but Gerrard honors her subjects and finds the beauty and the humanity in their seemingly diminished states. In so doing, she examines the philosophy of what it means to have a self, as well as how we can offer dignity and peace to those who suffer with this terrible disease. Not only will it aid those walking with dementia patients, The Last Ocean will prompt all of us to think on the nature of a life well lived.Binding Type: Paperback

Exceeded My Expectations
Size: 1PCS, Color: Holo Silver
Love love LOVEEE. I feel like a fairy! You only need a short spritz to get a perfect amount of glitter. The sparkles are beautiful, rainbowy and long lasting. I sprayed some on me yesterday and it's still going strong. It dries quickly and really gets those sparkles down. Even if you rub the part of you that's been glittered, it sticks! It doesn't even have a chemically smell, it's kind of flowery? Which I totally didn't expect. However I would recommend spraying yourself outside because the glitter gets all over the house. Unfortunately (or fortunately) my floor will forever be glittered.

Really pretty sparkle!
Size: 1PCS, Color: Gold
I actually bought this product (one can) so I could spray this on my small area of frog ornaments and rocks by our pool. *The product does not state it is intended for craft use. I am very okay with that. Being in Arizona with sun and wind, I wasn’t sure how this would work, turns out what little I did do, (I was afraid my bottle would run out), did a nice job! Half the glitter I sprayed survived a serious thunderstorm we had one night a week or two ago!
I did end up spraying some glitter on my arm, it’s really pretty, subtle, small size glitter, but definitely noticeable outside. You can make your layers as thin or thick as you like. The glitter comes out of the can like hairspray. Very faint smell that will go away within 5-10 minutes, depending on much you use.
I will definitely be purchasing more of this item in more colors in the future.

Must buy!!
Size: 1PCS, Color: Holo Silver, Size: 1PCS, Color: Holo Silver
After carefully looking at the reviews, I ended up purchasing the silver holographic body glitter spray. I immediately sprayed it on my arm, and it blasted my arm full of glitter! I wiped my arm and already dried down! I can’t wait to spray this in my hair and see how long this can last, but I’m definitely buying more with a different variety of colors. Definitely worth the money. I’m obsessed! I will say that if you don’t want glitter everywhere then spray outside.

Waste of money
Size: 1PCS, Color: Green
Barely noticeable! I bought the green glitter and let's just say there's Very little glitter! Pretty much non-existent. Definitely not worth $10 and It's not returnable. For $10 I would have expected something noticeable
