"When people grow older, get sick and die, their formerly robust lives are often forgotten. To be forgotten is something we all fear," Gail Sheehy (Book: Passages in Caregiving)
For Dwane to hear that he had been a positive influence in the world was the reason for the activity I invited people to participate in for his 75th birthday; so that he would know he had not been forgotten.
I have checked out Gail Sheehy's book on caregiving from our local library and will share highlights as I read it. I will share what I think is helpful for us as dementia caregivers.
