We Cared for Each Other: How Dementia and Parkinson's Disease Took My Mom's Life and Changed Mine Forever

I believe that each reader will be encouraged, hopeful, and guided to create a dialogue within their families. There are people all over the world who are caring for a loved one. It might be an aging parent, spouse, grandparent, or child who needs care. Most times, a loved one's need for care is not announced like death. The need for a caregiver can come without notice. It's not easy. It's expensive, it divides families, and can be lonely at times. In this book, you will be reminded that you are not alone and that there are resources to help you. You will be empowered to be a "voice" for the voiceless, who cannot speak for themselves. Caregivers may experience healthcare woes, unethical practices, and even discrimination against those without good health insurance. You will learn that these issues or problems can be eliminated through education and activation. Family is more than a biological connection. My mom taught me that family is the unconditional love between one another. God is love, and without it, your existence is limited. I'm a living witness that God is, and always will be, your comforter, provider, friend, and guiding light for everything that you need. Believe in Him, seek knowledge, focus, and pray.
