What Caregivers are saying about the book “Reflections for a Caregiver” Available at Amazon.com What a heartfelt book for Alzheimer's caregivers. I deeply appreciated this book as my grandfather has Alzheimer’s and I work part-time in a nursing home. This book needs to be sitting at the nursing home for the staff to read. This book really helps one to keep caring for our loved one in a kind manner and uplifts our spirit. At this time, we all need that. Thank you to the author Jo Kemp for this book. One Word......TREMENDOUS. Jo Kemp has a tremendous gift of being able to understand, empathize, and communicate the day-to-day trials and tribulations of a caregiver. I recommend reading this book from cover to cover the first time and then using as a comforting guide on those days you really need to know that someone understands and wants to help. On those days, you need help with just "Starting Your Day” or "Prioritizing" and don't forget about "Personal Time" and "Self Love". Jo Kemp's Reflections for a Caregiver is a tiny voice of reason when you need encouragement or are feeling blue coping with the challenges of Alzheimer's disease. Each day contains a thought or message that is thought provoking and introspective Very encouraging, supportive insights on every day thoughts and feelings. The wisdom and inspiration contained within are priceless. Thank you so much for sharing your talents and giving all of us the gift of your book.
