Produktbeschreibung

Once my viewpoint becomes their viewpoint
my personal perspective of the situation changes.

The stories in Dear Caregiver: Take a Moment and Walk with Me are based on my personal experiences with Katherine, a woman in her seventies, who lives with the physical and mental disabilities caused by Lewy Body Dementia. During a five-year time period as her caregiver, I recorded each treasured moment within twenty-four hours after each event occurred. Katherines words and expressions remain fresh in my mind despite the passing of the years.

As a new, part-time caregiver for my mother who was diagnosed with Alzheimers nearly three years ago, Take a Moment and Walk with Me is a true blessing and inspiration. This book of devotions is an excellent guide for anyone who is taking this journey for the first time. These devotions have made my heart lighter as I start each day wondering what special moment God will bless me with my mother, instead of facing each day with a heavy heart.

Memories! This book will touch your heart and soul! As a past and current caregiver, these memories bring back so many of my memories! Currently, I am taking care of my dad in his journey through Parkinsons and Dementia. This book has uplifted me to find a special memory every day of this journey. Knowing there is A Bible verse out there to highlight each memory is such a blessing. I encourage all caregivers to let this book lift you up before, during or after your journey. Let these words and Bible verses give you peace, encouragement, and strength.

My mom has lived with us for 14 years and her mind has been failing her for the past three. As I read Karens devotional, I first realized how every day is written so well that you feel like you are right there with them. Many situations are very similar to what I face with my mom. I am so amazed at how compassionate Karen is and how she has such a sense of how Katherine thinks and feels. She also gives caregivers practical ways to assist and care for our loved ones. This devotional is very helpful and inspirational for any caregiver and the Bible verses give us a glimpse of God in any situation.

Autorenporträt

Ever since I was a teen-ager, my dad always said I would be the one who would take care of him when he got old. And his words proved true. Little did I know after 28 years in retail sales and management that I would have the privilege to not only care for my dad but for a lady struggling with Lewy Body Dementia.

Working at making Gods word a part of my life, I consciously take the extra step to slide inside the mind of the person I am caring for and feel what they feel. See what they see. And fear what they fear. Once my viewpoint becomes their viewpoint my personal perspective of the situation changes. I understand why they are angry, frightened and disoriented which fills me with a deep sense of compassion and an unusual amount of patience.

Living in Ohio, I am a caregiver, a musician, a teacher, a writer, and a gardener.
