Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the beginning of my mother’s journey with dementia, I was clueless. I had very little knowledge of this disease and absolutely zero understanding. I felt a need, a want, to write about our journey, not only for my own sanity but also as a tool to help others walking the same path that we were. I wanted the reader to know about my mother and experience her incredible life during the Nazi invasion of Europe and before dementia came knocking. Knowing her then will help you to understand how she was able to deal with her diagnosis after. You will laugh, you will cry, and I am sure you will come to love her like I do. Our journey will inspire you and give you hope and understanding coupled with some important tools to help navigate dementia’s ruthless confusion with real solutions and ideas. Our life with dementia spanned twelve heartbreaking, nerve-racking, inspiring years of learning how to dance this crazy dance that became our life. Love did manage to blossom in the midst of dementia’s complete despair. My hope is that it will blossom in yours too.

Book excerpt: Where were her shoes? It was strange to even think about it. There were certainly more frightening things to consider. The guns, the men, the crash; plus there were all the things left behind which included her passport. These were all too much. So she thought, instead, about her bare feet. Rebecca Dawson had worked hard to afford this trip to France. She wanted to see everything, and experience all Europe had to offer. And she longed for adventure. Canada was home but it was safe. What was life without a little adventure? What she hadn’t wanted was what she and her two best friends had found. Now they faced imprisonment, torture, and slavery. But the most frightening was the one thing they didn’t know about; the reason Fredrick Brouillette and his group were here. And in the midst of it all, Rebecca would have the answer to the one question she had never seriously asked herself, how would she handle a crisis?

This book was released on 2015-10-29 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Journey with a Boomer couple accepting the mission of caring for one parent with dementia, only to end up with two parents with dementia, mixed with a healthy blend of OCD, paranoia, and Parkinsons. The intense darkness of such a dynamic at times also makes for a releasing humor. Poignant stories tell the tales, while the focus remains on how, when the Teacher designs the syllabus, the classroom experience will reach the heart. Over 30 humbling lessons (most in hindsight) about mission, mercy, faith, fatigue, keys and cars, time, toothpaste, amazement, awe, earthsuits, and more are set into an eternal perspective. What was the most humbling lesson of all? Come along with Rick and Martha and discover the most important one for yourself. Aging certainly has its problems. We lose lots of things like teeth, sight, hearing, knees, hips, and sleep to name a few. However, the costliest loss of all is our memory. Caregivers and family members must take the time to read When Camels Slide Down Doors... It will come to be your manual, your friend, your source of inspiration and encouragement. Your relationship with God and each family member will be enriched. DR. HANS E. JOSEPHSEN, DMin, ThD, PhD. Christian Counselor The Traders' seven-year journey through the many stages of caring for their elderly parents and their passage through dementia is a lesson in life, love, and faith. The narrative of Ann and Winston's story rivals the tellings of Philip Roth. When you infuse such a heartfelt tale with scriptural passages and the calling to ministry that Rick and Martha embody, you are presented with a rare and unique book that will change the way you view the challenges life presents. I heartily endorse When Camels Slide Down Doors MICHAEL J READINGER, President & CEO, The Council for Health & Human Service Ministries, United Church of Christ True to life, When Camels Slide Down Doors recounts the creative ways the authors overcame barriers without losing heart, their senses of humor, and most of all their faith in God. This excellent story will prepare readers for the progression through the disease process, as well as the spiritual growth that it fosters in those who care for these loved ones. DR. NINA BEAMAN, EdD, MSN, RN, Dean of Nursing, Author As a professional who trains chaplains, therapists, and caregivers, I enjoyed reading Camels It is a delightful, at times emotional, personal read which will leave you laughing, sometimes on the edge of tears, and always ready to turn the page.

Boggs Cynthia Client was a 93 year old wealthy woman who worked her way up from an uneducated child whose mother didn’t believe in educating girls to the one supporting her entire family. With her determination and hard work, she home schools herself and secures a job at one of the largest companies in Hartford, Connecticut. She saves and invests her hard earned money anxiously waiting to enjoy her retirement at her old age. Shortly after she retired, she is diagnosed with dementia. Annelle Bright, Cynthia’s patient care assistant (PCA) becomes her closest confidant and she tells Annelle her life stories. Together, the two women learn from each other’s ups and down real life experiences. The Aging Mind sheds light on the life we all live here on earth and how it can be interrupted by different circumstances, such as diseases. It details some of the relationship between elderly dementia/Alzheimer’s patients, their families and care givers. I hope you read this book in quietness with an open mind and allow yourself to become each character in the book and consider how you would tackle some of the issues they encounter. My greatest wish is that readers will spread the word to protect our senior citizens all around the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this gripping autobiography, I share my experience of holding on when everyone else let go. With every ounce of strength, I gripped tight, silently screaming on the inside, unable to surrender or relinquish my right to live my own life. Despite the choices of those around me, I had none of my own. My sanity teetered on the edge between a frenzied, rabid dog and an existence of task-oriented groundhog days. I didn’t recognize myself, yet the merry-go-round kept turning, and I couldn’t step off. I had already witnessed more than my eyes should have seen, but leaving wasn’t an option. The reason why? She devoted her life to protecting me from bullies, silently absorbing their scorn. Now the tables have turned, and it’s my turn to protect her. No matter the cost, I vowed to love her, keep her safe, and give her my undivided attention and lifelong support. We’re in this together, no matter how long it takes.

When her brother Gideon discovers new evidence of the cult's--and their victims'--whereabouts, Mercy goes to Sacramento to reconnect with him. There, she meets Gideon's closest friend--homicide detective Rafe Sokolov. From Rafe, she receives an offer she never knew she needed: to track down Ephraim and make him pay for everything. But Ephraim, who had thought Mercy long dead, discovers she is in fact alive and that she is digging around for the cult's secrets. And now he'll do anything to take her back to Eden--dead or alive.
