PRODUKTBESCHREIBUNG
by Vince O'Rourke (Author)
"I wish I were a leper. If I were a leper He could heal me." Herein is a story that grabs the reader's attention from the outset. It is a record of unconditional love, pain and suffering, hope and despair, anger and elation. The book relates a personal conflict of faith and belief in a God of love and compassion. It speaks clearly to all who care for those suffering long term terminal diseases, especially those allied to dementia.
This book is a must read for all who work either in the community or within residential agencies. It forced me to reflect on how the system and possibly I fail to truly meet the needs of those facing the immense grief and loss which inevitably accompanies Alzheimer's disease.
-Annette McAlpine, Clinical Nurse Consultant, Blue Care.
When the devastation of Alzheimer's disease is shared with others - family, friends and carers - their lives are enriched in so many ways.
Margaret's journey contributed to that enrichment through the continual sharing of love and commitment by so many. This book will be of great support to those who feel they are alone in their journey.
-Catherine Shirlock, Registered Nurse, Greenslopes Private Hospital.
Here is a story of faith and faithfulness where we catch a glimpse of enduring love. Be moved, challenged and graced by a love story that is poignantly, even lyrically narrated. As well, you will never again read the story of the ten lepers in the same way!
-Fr John Chalmers, Director of Chaplaincy Services, Brisbane.
