About the Book

What’s So Funny About Dementia? Where Compassion Meets Courage presents twelve deeply personal stories that chronicle the emotional and often humorous journey of caring for a loved one with dementia. Rather than focusing solely on the medical realities of the disease, the book highlights the unexpected laughter that can emerge from the words and actions of those living with dementia—encouraging readers to laugh with the person, never at them.

At its core, the book is a guide for caregivers who may feel isolated, exhausted, or overwhelmed. Dr. Robbins demonstrates that the dementia journey, while undeniably long and difficult, can also be profoundly meaningful and rewarding. Through compassion, patience, and unconditional love, families can support their loved ones with dignity while finding strength within themselves.

What sets this book apart is its positive and practical approach. Instead of dwelling on fear or loss, it encourages caregivers to embrace the lighter moments that naturally arise and to see humor as a powerful source of healing, resilience, and human connection.
