I wrote this book to reach out to other people who find themselves feeling isolated while taking on the responsibility of an aging parent. You are not alone.
I hope you find comfort and companionship in my words.
Recently I realized that the memories and the difficult challenges I went through with my Dad never really go away. My husband had hip replacement surgery and during his recovery had to use a walker. I heard him one night coming down the hallway and a flood of panic overwhelmed me. I was right back in our old house taking care of my Dad! The simple sound of the walker brought me back. For a few seconds I was frozen with panic. PTSD? I am not sure.
Linda Ference Michalek felt woefully unprepared when she flew to Florida, packed up her father and his things, and brought him to live with her and her husband in their home in Connecticut.
Diagnosed with dementia, advanced stage Alzheimer's, diabetes, and heart disease his needs were complex. In "I Am Here" Linda shares cherished memories, heartbreaks and creative solutions to challenging situations. For someone caring for their aging parent, this book is like sitting down for a cup of coffee with a dear friend that truly understands.
The ebook and paperback are available to purchase on Amazon.
