Excerpt
Pin
Caregiving is like dancing on the head of a pin. We do not have to be the best dancer we just need to keep our balance. We dance to the music of days gone by. We swing with the gratitude that God has given us this time to be together. We are proud of our accomplishments and look forward to whatever challenges lie ahead. Our love grows stronger, and our commitment is forever. We delight in the knowledge that guides us through this journey. Life can be complicated…or not. The choice is really ours. We have the courage and stamina to keep this delicate balance that defines us as caregivers extraordinaire.
May you be blessed in all that you do.

Uplifting
What a heartfelt book for Alzheimer's caregivers. I deeply appreciated this book as my grandfather has Alzheimer’s and I work part-time in a nursing home. This book needs to be sitting at the nursing home for the staff to read.
This book really helps one to keep caring for our loved one in a kind manner and uplifts our spirit. At this time, we all need that.
Tremendous
Thank you to the author Jo Kemp for this book. One Word......TREMENDOUS. Jo Kemp has a tremendous gift of being able to understand, empathize, and communicate the day-to-day trials and tribulations of a caregiver. I recommend reading this book from cover to cover the first time and then using as a comforting guide on those days you really need to know that someone understands and wants to help. On those days, you need help with just "Starting Your Day” or "Prioritizing" and don't forget about "Personal Time" and "Self Love".
Voice of Reason
Jo Kemp's Reflections for a Caregiver is a tiny voice of reason when you need encouragement or are feeling blue coping with the challenges of Alzheimer's disease. Each day contains a thought or message that is thought provoking and introspective. Very encouraging, supportive insights on every day thoughts and feelings. The wisdom and inspiration contained within are priceless.
