Finding Meaning with Charles: Caregiving with Love Through a Degenerative Disease

My mother-in-law had Progressive Supranuclear Palsy. I bought this book because I read on a PSP online forum that it was really helpful to caregivers & families of people with this disease. The author does a great job of sharing her story and being honest & upfront about the challenges & rewards of caring for someone with a devastating neurological condition.

My mother was diagnosed with PSP 10 years ago. Never could I imagine that such an uplifting story could be written about such a dreaded insidious disease. Janet Edmunson has captured the joy and heartache of caregiving superbly.

Written by inspirational speaker Janet Edmunson, Finding Meaning With Charles: Caregiving With Love Through A Degenerative Disease is a personal testimony concerning the experience of caring for a loved one through the progression of Parkinson's Plus syndrome. The importance of the serenity prayer - "To accept what I cannot change" - the test of faith in God that is watching a loved one gradually die, and the little day-to-day aspects of life. A profound and soul-baring memoir of observing twilight years.
