Mom, Are you There?

Finding a Path to Peace through Alzheimer’s

How will you cope with caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s?  

This Keynote will show you several simple strategies—stepping stones—that can help you find your path to peace as you care for a parent, family member or friend with this illness. Traveling with a loved one through Alzheimer’s can be a gift in your life—if you choose to see it this way.

 You will discover how, by asking the following questions, you can thrive despite the overwhelming obstacles presented by long-term caregiving:

             Who can I turn to for information and support?

            How do I prepare myself for this journey?

            How can I stay open to the gifts this experience has to offer?

Kathleen made the choice to embrace her mother’s dementia and to become a loving companion through this devastating illness. In doing so, Kathleen embarked on an amazing journey with her mother—one of self discovery, love, and peace. This is a journey that she wants to share with you.

Kathleen will sign copies of her book, "Mom, Are You There? Finding a Path to Peace through Alzheimer's," available for $17.00 per copy.

Join us for Wine/Tea and Dessert, beginning at 5:00, with the presentation beginning at 5:30.
