Do you feel alone?Caring for an aging parent or loved one is no easy task. You love them deeply and want to embrace this calling.

But a lack of experience exposes how much you don’t know, and it is overwhelming. As your new life continues, isolation presses in until it becomes alarmingly familiar and comfortable.

Resounding whispers shout that you are the only one struggling this way. You feel like God has left your whole world as the life you knew evaporates and the daily challenges of your new reality grow.

Before I stepped into this role, I thought dementia was just extreme forgetfulness. I had no idea it could bring about such a change of personality, including angry outbursts, irrational fears, and impossible demands.

I was thoroughly unprepared and ill-equipped. So, I wrote the book I wish I had when I faced this ordeal.

Here, I share what I learned as caregiver and decision-maker and what in-home hospice does and does not provide. Your situation will be different from mine, but caregiving has more commonalities than you might think, and knowing you are not alone, you are not crazy, and that God has not left your side can bring comfort.

May this book help you carry all you hold and bring glimpses of His love in the chaotic storm. .
