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

Favorite for dry climate
I live in a dry desert and these are the only moisturizing masks I see instant results. For best results after doing my evening skincare routine I apply the mask one hour before bed. I store them in the fridge so they feel cool and soft on my skin. Once you get the hang of applying them it’s very easy the second time. I sleep with them on and remove them in the morning and my skin is glowing, plump and pores appear smaller. The mask itself is a thick durable jelly not like the typical sheet masks. The price for this is worth it if you wear the mask minimum 2-5 hours once a week

Youth Serum?
You will not regret trying this! The results are amazing!!! 🤩 After the first use my skin looked healthier, brighter, more even toned and pores were diminished. I look young again. (I’m 57.)
I have neglected my face for a few years after being the kind of girl who never left the house without makeup. I knew I needed some deep repair and thought a mask would help. Lo and behold, my beloved Amazon gave me Biodance! I just used my third mask last night and I’m still excited to peel it off the next morning. My face doesn’t look all dewy like the pictures and video but it’s definitely a huge improvement. I didn’t realize it was that dry. A couple tips-don’t worry when you first apply it if it’s not perfectly positioned. There is wiggle room and it will slide a bit. Handle carefully! It’s slimy & slippery. You can use the eyes and lips (cut outs) for other problem areas and you can tear off the nose as well. It feels cooling the moment you put it on. I had no irritation at all. I took the advice of one reviewer and sat on the couch with my head leaned back for about an hour before I went to bed to let it dry a little. Nice “ME” time. Thanks a zillion Amazon and Biodance! I vow to use a mask weekly from now until the end of time. ❤️

Cool Product
I love these masks. The are cool and white in color when you put them on and they turn clear when the stuff is absorbed. I was new to a mask that has to be on 3 hours or more, but it was cool. I had very little skin irritation and I have sensitive skin. They are very easy to put on and take off. They have a heavy cooling sensation when you first put them on because the are really wet, but it dissipated over time and was comfortable to sleep in. I use these masks twice a week. I will definitely keep using them. My skin feels softer and more firm in the morning. I just take off the mask and apply a little moisturizer with sunscreen and I'm good for the day.
