Taking Care Of Miss Bee Bee

Cheryl Edwards-Cannons mother was diagnosed with early-onset dementia in 1995 at a time when there was little information available to help her navigate the journey. It was up to Cheryl to find out what she could about how this disease would affect her mother and the rest of the family dynamics. Over time, she became the daughter extraordinaire, who made the whole caregiver role look marvelously simple. Revealed in a series of heartwarming, real-life vignettes, Cheryls story is designed to help the reader cope with their own challenges in taking care of someone who no longer can do it for herself. From dressing to travelling to shopping, Cheryl learns how to see the world through the eyes of her mother. In a charming, witty fashion, she describes exactly what you as a caregiver need to learn to do and how to keep yourself from either going insane or perhaps going to jail. Fueled by her caregiving experiences and spiritual beliefs, the author was inspired to develop a resource for families encountering elder-care challenges called Clear Path Choices, which provides one-on-one consulting as well as a six-week learning experience designed to help families make decisions for their own lives and for those entrusted to their care.

"These revealing stories from family caregivers-spouses, grown children and grandchildren-share the emotional support and practical tips that you need as you navigate the world of eldercare, especially when Alzheimer's or other dementias are part of it. You'll feel less alone and more empowered in your new role as you help your loved ones"--

The Sorceress is a classic fiction by Margaret Oliphant Oliphant, a Scottish novelist and historical writer who usually wrote under Mrs. Oliphant's pseudonym. She is best known for her portrayals of small-town life. Her fictional works cover domestic realism, historical novels, and stories of the supernatural. Oliphant wrote more than 120 works, including novels, books of travel and description, histories, and texts on literary criticism. Excerpt from The Sorceress "IT was the most exciting event which had ever occurred in the family, and everything was affected by it. Imagine to yourselves such a young family, all in the very heyday of life, parents and children alike. It is true that Mrs. Kingsward was something of an invalid, but nobody believed that her illness was anything very serious, only a reason why she should be taken abroad, to one place after another, to the great enjoyment of the girls, who were never so happy as when they were travelling and gaining, as they said, experience of life."
