Publisher's Synopsis
Many times God chooses seemingly the least likely person to carry out his tasks. Often it is not the favoured child or the one emotionally closest to the parent who becomes the designated carer. This is a double-edged sword because there is a natural resentment for the tremendous burden of care required. However, it gives the carer the chance to work through issues that would never have been resolved without the close contact. This was the case with Fran and her mother 'Moose'. This book tells the remarkable story of Fran and her family's journey with Moose as she fights Alzheimer's disease. Smile, laugh and let the tears well up as you see how God can use what looks like a tragedy to bring a family closer together. The psychological impact on the family taking on the role of carer is examined, as well as the latest research discussing treatment and prevention of mental degeneration through nutritional and antioxidant support. An inspiration for all taking on the responsibility of caring for an ageing family member - especially those with Alzheimer's and for those who truly want to serve God.
