Description
Ginnie Horst Burkholder shares from the heart about caring for a spouse who is slowly slipping away to Lewy body dementia (LBD). Burkholder's memoir reveals how she handles the constant challenges through humor, love, commitment, and faith. At the same time, she does not gloss over the loss, pain, and loneliness on this emotional roller coaster ride that invaded her marriage and family following her husband's diagnosis.
The book is about the gritty and glorious substances of life-how illness and health, faith and doubt, grief and acceptance all flow together in the river of change. It leads each of us to a greater awareness of our own life experiences.
Study questions are included. They are not only a tool for understanding dementia or the role of caregivers but can bring greater self-awareness to every person's life experience.
“One of the best caregiving memoirs I have read. Burkholder teaches us about the delicate balance of constant caring for a loved one while also tending to one's own needs. Her humanity and love are apparent on every page. A must read for professionals as well as family caregivers.”--Pauline Boss, author of Loving Someone Who Has Dementia
“Relentless Goodbye is an exquisitely written look at a marriage forever changed by Lewy body dementia a testimony to the devotion and commitment of caregivers who carry someone's entire world on their shoulders.”--Angela Taylor, director of programs, Lewy Body Dementia Association
