Alzheimer's Angels: A Compilation of Poetry Honoring Caregivers and Victims of Alzheimer's Disease

Rating:
Summary: Angel Poet
Review: Dorothy Womack's poems have reached across the Internet and touched so many people affected by Alzheimer's disease. She has bravely shared her own story, in poem and prose, and she has reached out to others who are living in the pain that she knew as caregiver for her mother. Other children of Alzheimer's parents, spouses of people with this disease, and early onset victims of AD have been honored by Dorothy's touching poems, which have spoken to their hearts and conforted them. In her 334 page book, Alzheimer's Angels, Dorothy has shared over 200 of her poems, including some for Sept. 11, 2001 victims as well as for victims of Alzheimer's. Dorothy's gift has ministered to me as well, speaking to me as from my mother, in her poems "Most of All" and "The Other Side of Midnight". Dorothy's poem "In the Company of Orphans" tells our story, of motherless daughters who have found one another and become sisters. I am grateful to God for Dorothy's influence in my life, proud to have become her "sister" and friend. I highly recommend Alzheimer's Angels, and I know that the verses contained within it will minister to others, bringing healing tears, and giving comfort and strength for the Alzheimer's journey.
