CONSTANCE DOUGHTY JONES
Psychologist
"I have so rarely thought about the loving aspects of this type of journey. Linda's writing definitely instilled what I believe to be an approach so little discussed, and so empowering. When you bring up dementia in discussion with people, most will express a bland sympathy for you and that seems to be the end of it. This manuscript does an excellent job adding key layers of complexity and thus making any caregiver/family member's thoughts on the subject more emotionally enriching."

“A powerful read for caregivers facing the journey of caring for someone with dementia. Her growth and faith over years of caring for Rob is an amazing blend of self-discovery and acceptance. An incredibly validating and relatable read.”
