About the Author

Helene Berger has held major positions of leadership throughout her life, in her home community of Miami and nationally.  In each of these roles, she has spoken throughout the country, marshaling help for large and diverse groups of people with a wide array of needs. She is recognized as a powerful and inspirational speaker.

Choosing Joy: Alzheimer’s: A Book of Hope is her first book.  It was inspired by the unanticipated, positive results that her husband Ady achieved after his diagnosis of Alzheimer’s.  It is a comprehensive guide, combining the concrete methodologies learned over the following six years, as well as inspirational examples and philosophy. Although written about her experience with Alzheimer’s, her guidance applies to a loved one with any type of debilitating disease – as well as to all the meaningful relationships in our lives.  It is a rare book of hope, providing practical and emotional support to both the caregiver and the patient.  And all the while, it is a love story, and an honest retelling of a lifetime journey.

Helene is a proud grandmother of four and mother of two. Her son was Chief of Cardiology at Pennsylvania Hospital for eighteen years and her daughter is a Professor of Mathematics at MIT.  She is widely published and the recipient of many prestigious awards. Both continue to offer their mother unconditional support.
