Synopsis

Fading Image focuses on the day to day feelings of a daughter who had no answers in the beginning. As time goes on in the dialogue of the book you will see my growth; emotionally, physically, and spiritually. You will be aware of the love between a mother and a daughter. You will experience love in all areas of life. I will try and answer questions you have if you have an Alzheimer’s sufferer in your life. I will try and guide you through the first steps, second steps and the life after the sufferer has passed. It was not an easy journey for my mom and myself. It was however the most learning experience in my life, the most spiritual, the most telling.
Alzheimer’s is a horrific, horrible disease. I don’t even have enough adjectives to describe its intensity on oneself. It can be, at times, sheer torture. Reading my book will help you to laugh at the most disgusting things, help you to realize some things just really don’t matter, and that you will live through this. I promise.
I have often said I am not writing Fading Image for fame or fortune. I am writing it so no one will have to feel the way I did when first being told “Your mom is mentally incompetent” … Don’t ever feel alone, ever. Read the book, write down your feelings, feel the love while experiencing our journey, mine and moms. If my book helps you in any way, then I am blessed, that is my fame and fortune. Alzheimer’s versus love. The winner - LOVE.
