Miracles All Around Me

In Miracles All Around Me ? The Unexpected Gifts of My Mother?s Alzheimer?s, the author choronicles her role as primary caregiver to her mother who struggled with early onset Alzheimer?s the final decade of her life while also confronting the challenges of her father?s stroke and her brother?s suicide. Help and guidance appeared along the way and surprisingly revealed silver linings to the dark clouds of emotional pain that is involved in end-of-life issues. This is a candid, gritty, and often witty account of negotiating nursing homes, hospice, funeral homes, doctors, lawyers, the Veterans Administration and Social Security. Marsha Burris? array of experiences prompted an interest in Reiki and other alternative medicine approaches and produced a growth in the maturity of her spirituality.
