Stewart, Dorothy

This book of brief Bible readings, meditations, prayers and self-help suggestions has been written especially for those who have very little time for themselves. Both realistic and upbeat, it will strengthen carers to face squarely the many challenges and struggles of their role - one day at a time.

As a full-time carer for her husband, who suffers from dementia as a result of MS, Dorothy Stewart can identify only too well with the six million people in the UK who look after family members at home. This book of brief Bible readings, meditations, prayers and self-help suggestions has been written especially for those who have very little time for themselves. Both realistic and upbeat, it will strengthen carers to face squarely the many challenges and struggles of their role - one day at a time.

The Good Book Stall

The author of this slim volume is caring for her husband who suffers from dementia, so her words come from the heart. Each chapter consists of a Bible verse and a meditation based around that verse, followed by a prayer and ending with a 'self-care suggestion'. I think this book would be a big help to many carers, not least because it would reassure them that their reactions, emotions and frustrations are 'normal' in their situation. Now that I have read it, I am going to send it to a friend who is caring for her husband with Alzheimer’s. If she has the time to let me have her comments, I will add them to this review.
