Publisher's Synopsis
Lisa Lynn Gael has written the story of her mother whose life was forever changed by the onset of Dementia. At first, the family cared for Mom in her home, but soon the doctor wrote a prescription to place her in an elder care facility which housed an assisted living section and a nursing home. Lisa knew little of this disease or how it would affect her mother's life - and her own. The only thing she knew was that she could not let her mom go through it alone. Lisa chose to walk with her mother and kept a journal to help process the strong emotions that would be evoked. She wrote about the wonderful and the difficult times that she shared with her mom. Now, Lisa offers these stories in the hope that others will experience the joys and heartfelt moments that are so precious in life even when someone you love is living in a nursing home. Reading this book may also help you to know that you are not alone. Many of us will find our footsteps traversing a similar path. May you and your loved one walk together for as long as time allows.
