You would make a very good nurse: a huge dose of empathy coupled with a bit of humor:) Most people in nursing homes have already been discarded by our warped consumer society, but some of them, in fact, most of them, are still lucid enough to tell their stories. Even if nobody listens....

You string beautiful words together that form such an accurate and vivid portrait of this experience. My mother died earlier this year of Alzheimer's and I was blessed to be able to care for her in her final year of life. Thank you for sharing your experiences. I plan to order and read your book.
