Taking care of Henry is a non-fictional written
documentary that depicts
the present and past life of a Wife who is a caregiver
of her husband Henry.
Henry had a stroke over 13 years ago and presently
has Alzheimer’s.
This written documentary chronicles the life of Ruth
and her children as they sustain Henry’s illness.
Because this is the unedited journal of a woman trying to piece her thoughts and life together following great family tragedy there are some grammar, and other gaffs which I do not find detract at all from the reading or the message the writer wants to convey. Having lost my own father to what in those days was called, OBS, Organic Brain Syndrome, which presented so many of the symptoms Michelle lists along with facing the fact that our Daddy no longer knew US, was an especially difficult situation for my Mom and my sisters. Mom, as Writer Michelle’s mother was adamant she did not want Daddy in nursing care, on the other hand, Daddy’s care, as Michelle’s family discovered with their father at last was such that trained nursing care was necessary. It is a hard decision to face at best.
That having been said; Taking Care of Henry presents a good reference work needed today. I can see this book being used during grief and other counseling sessions as an aid to encourage family and spouse of those suffering from irreparable, debilitating situation whether Alzheimer’s disease or other similar situation.
Taking Care of Henry is sure to capture the interest of readers facing the realities of tragedy of life be they black or not.
Happy to recommend Jeanette Michelle’s Taking Care of Henry.
