A New Initiative Project
It’s always comforting to know that you are not alone when going through a difficult time – sharing your personal story about your beloved George meant so much to me.
—Maria Shriver, Office of the First Lady, Sacramento
Caregivers for those with Alzheimer’s are twice as likely to suffer from depression and/or physical decline but Kathy and George’s journey took a different route.
- Kathy’s journal notes unveil the darkness and the light of their last years together.
- Her poetry reveals the voice of her soul through her process of awareness and letting go, self-doubt and self-care, life and death, anxiety and spiritual transformation.
- The photos provide a pictorial backdrop of George and Kathy’s 19 years of marriage and shared joy of world travel.
Together George and Kathy faced George's Alzheimer's with courage, humor, wisdom and most importantly love. Kathy said to me after this process was over, she felt that how she dealt with things were of her own choosing. She chose to deal with this challenge with dignity and humor.
