"After reading the manuscript I could only reflect on how the system and
possibly I fail to truly meet the needs of those in the community
facing such immense grief and loss. This disease is truly the long farewell.
How as a health worker can we better support people in your situation? This
manuscript is a must read for all those workers who work either in community
or within residential agencies."
Annette McAlpine: Clinical Nurse Coordinator, Blue Care
'This is an emotional roller-coaster ride for both author and reader. Vince's private agony was played out in a public arena. When the devastation of Alzheimer's disease is shared with others, family, friends and carers, their lives are enriched by the experience in so many ways. Margaret's journey contributed to that enrichment with the continual sharing of love and commitment by so many. When life sends a trial that appears too difficult, there is always something that teaches us that emotionally and physically our strengths do grow and we do endure with the help and support of others to a greater depth. Margaret was a great teacher in so many ways for so many. This journey will be of great support to those who think they are alone - They are never alone, they just have to share 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.
