A personal, moving, yet often funny exploration of the impact of dementia, Alzheimer's, or Lewy-Body Dementia on sufferer and family alike; from denial to diagnosis, from care-giving to cleaning out the house

30% of the proceeds are being donated to the LBDA. Are you in the middle of caregiving, but feel you're at the end of your rope? Are you taking the first steps out of denial, but feel like you're already on your last good nerve? Is caregiving making you feel totally overwhelmed but completely under water? This book is for you! After more than a decade as a Generation X caregiver, Joy Walker has seen almost everything and she's willing to write about it in an effort to help her fellow caregivers. As all caregivers know, there are certain topics and issues that are universal to caregiving and are talked about and debated and chewed over constantly. Things like: why does family not help out more? Should I lie to my care receiver? What should I do about driving and taking the car keys? How do I break everyone out of denial of the situation? When should I place my loved one in a facility? What do I do when my care receiver dies? And more. In her work as a caregiver, caregiver advocate, dementia support group facilitator, hospice worker, and bereavement counselor, Walker has collected personal experiences, information and anecdotes about those hot button issues - and she talks about them! Honestly, straightforwardly, and humorously. This book is like a mini-support group, in which Walker covers the full caregiving experience: from denial to dementia to death-with-dignity. Walker uses her own stories to help illustrate her findings, progressing chronologically through the denial that her family suffered through in the beginning, to living with her dad as his caregiver, to placing him in a facility, to having problems with family members, to what she anticipates happening when he dies. She also talks about how caregiving has changed over the last decade and how technology can be a powerful care tool. She shares her experiences as a Generation X caregiver, as well as suggestions on how to have your own life, even while giving care. Walker will be donating 30% of the book's proceeds to the LBDA. "Joy's quirky wit makes this book fun to read even though it is about a serious subject. Her willingness to share her experiences, the bad as well as the good, helps readers explore their own feelings about caregiving and encourages better caregiver care - an oft-neglected part of the job." Helen Whitworth, co-author of A Caregiver's Guide to Lewy Body Dementia.

This retelling of the Christmas story, through poetry and biblical references, inspires thoughtful meditation and joyful singing. Several poems can be sung to the tune of well-known Christmas carols and other songs. Reflections on the reason for Jesus' birth remind us that we can still have hope for our broken world.The opening theme is the birth of Jesus, a miraculous display of God's love for us celebrated at Christmas. However, Christmas is only the beginning. What follows His birth is even more astounding and life-transforming.The first part of the book resounds with joy and celebration at this phenomenal love-gift sent to us by a holy and loving God seeking to reconnect with his lost sheep. The celebration is not just because of His birth, but because He was born to die for mankind's redemption from sin's bondage. What is more praiseworthy is His resurrection, the foundation of the Christian faith. Because Jesus is alive, His power and light will always outshine the darkness. This is clearly a reason for singing.With the life of Jesus as our example, the remaining poems cover various aspects of Christian living: forgiveness, righteousness, justice, compassion for our neighbor and resisting temptation. Some poems cover controversial issues like the sanctity of life and the sanctity of marriage. They remind us that we are in a spiritual battle and must daily make choices between good and evil. We are exhorted to love God and obey His precepts in order to flourish. Loving and caring for each other are some of the daily choices we must make. Without that, our human society sinks into chaos.While the explosion of evil around us is frightening, we also struggle with our own personal weaknesses and failures and need reminders that Jesus will meet us in those struggles. Several of the poems are prayers from a burdened heart wrestling with the enticement of sin and the need to receive or grant forgiveness. Some are the expressions of grief and pain in moments of despair so common to mankind. Other poems are songs of praise and thanksgiving for God's faithfulness in delivering from trials of various kinds.The book ends with poems of victory in anticipation of Jesus' triumphant return to fulfill His promise to abolish sin and suffering. It is a time of rejoicing for those who love Him, but a time of fear and trembling for those who do not. The goal of this book is to point people to the God who sees all and who does not desire anyone to perish. His mercy is extended to all who would receive it.The biblical references that follow the poems will challenge the reader to a deeper dive into the very words of God to glean strength, wisdom and courage for daily living. These poems are meant to serve as a springboard to that end, and there is something here for everyone and for every season."...beautifully crafted...inspirational, riveting and thought-provoking...There is something...for everyone. Whether you are looking for a fresh view of the Christmas story carefully supported by Scripture and penned to the tune of familiar Christmas carols or something with an island vibe..." - Rev. Utibe Offiong, Associate Pastor, St. Paul's AME Church, Cambridge, MA"Having read a little more than half of your book, it gets five stars from me... a very creative and heartfelt book, not only the poetry, but the use of scripture and your added delightful use of humor throughout.
