In My Shoes

In My Shoes is a twelve-year journey no spouse would choose—watching and caring for his/her vibrant, intelligent, and loving life partner suffer, decline, and ultimately pass away far too soon from Alzheimer’s disease. Barbara, aka Mo, wore these shoes, never knowing what to expect as years, then days, hours, even minutes became only memories of Gerald’s former self.

These are very ill-fitting shoes. How does one wear them? Mo’s heart is in helping this special loved one’s spouse and caregiver walk this path—the many emotions one will feel, challenges to be faced, and unique responsibilities of a new normal. Try on these shoes, and walk in them through Barbara.
