I struggle, intensely fighting the powerful pull that drags me deeper into the abyss, until... I am pulled under."" For anyone who's been tasked with caregiving for another, or anyone who's beside someone struggling with dementia, this book is for you.

IMAGINE... the beauty and release, as we catch glimpses of the gifts that await on the other side of darkness. Kath DeLorme grew up in southeast Florida. She began life in a chaotic, abusive environment which set her on a path to cultivate strength, courage, and ultimately, enough vulnerability to surrender to the flow of life. She enjoyed a 45-year career as a Respiratory Therapist. This professional path allowed her self-confidence to grow, as she cared for those whose bodies were in need of repair, and souls in need of nurturing. She has tenaciously fought against the tide of changes presented by her life, and been victorious in reshaping her soul. Kath has tasted the authenticity of her innermost landscape and continues to seek its unfolding. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
