Thank you for writing a book from the heart that touches so many lives and will for years to come! By writing this book you brought to the homes and hearts of all who are/have/or will experience a very real part of life. You brought it to us so we can embrace it in our quiet moments and in our time of pure exhaustion.
I so wish I received your book before my mother passed (it arrived just after she passed). I read it and sobbed loudly, deeply, knowing the truth behind everything you described. I know I cried out to God in my weakest of moments, in the quiet of the night, in the early morning but late at night my exhaustion would weaken me and my anger and tears would flow. Reading your book and the Bible verses that God had already made available to us to lean on, helped to heal my pain.
Besides wishing I had your book earlier, I also wish I took advantage of attending support groups. Instead of believing 'this is only happening to me & my mother - who else knows her better than me? How can an "outsider" help?' It would have opened my eyes to the similiarities of the elderly & caregivers alike. I had read some clinical information & watched a PBS Documentary on ALZ and their families. It opened my eyes but having your book to run to would have helped hold me up. I say this so others reading this will be encouraged to seek all the help they can.
I told myself as days became longer & harder for both my mother & myself, that God has plan in all of this - just hang on & believe. So, was receiving your book a matter of misguided timing or was it meant to be a healer for me since God knows all my needs. The latter is true.
Thank you!!!
