Hope beyond Dementia, lessons from a personal journey of care

The onset of dementia in a loved one can lead to a slow private surrender that God is no longer able to save those gripped in the confusion of the disease. Despite the symptoms, the author here charts first-hand how God is able to work through the disease and to actually save those seemingly beyond logical reach. Practical advice, spiritual helps and guidance are woven into the author’s journey, to show how God is able to bring hope in the seeming hopelessness of an end -of-life care situation.

‘There is an abundance of Christian literature on parenting children, but where do we turn when it is time to parent our parents? Chris Gee has sought to redress this imbalance by sharing his personal journey. He does so with humour and passion. Chris gives very specific practical and spiritual tips, almost like a handbook, to enable us to honour our father and mother in their time of greatest need and vulnerability.’ Jonathan Gardner, End of Life Chaplain connected with a Christian Care Home
