A Light at the End of the Tunnel

Finally- a much needed and comprehensive guide for caring families of long term care residents. Thank you, Chloe Jon Paul. Thank you.

A Loving Path for Difficult Times

This is a short book that isn't overwhelming. That's good because many of us find ourselves fraught with anxiety, frozen in place, or overcome by mixed emotions when confronted by caring for a loved one. Ms. Jon Paul combines her professional acumen as a teacher and the remembrances of caring for her mother (and others)to remind us that these experiences and our emotions are not distant object relations but part of our very real life as we and others progress to the autumn or last days of life. The resultant advice is heartfelt and the notion that our and others' mistakes can be overcome and used with value to bring back an essential and loving humanity to our world so full of schedules, dealines, frustration, and hurt. This work is a little treasure that reminds us that being human is a collective experience.

What Happens Next? A family guide to nursing home visits .

If you expected to read the "same old, same old" about nursing home and care from Chloe - WRONG you are. She gives the RIGHT ideas of how to continue loving your loved one. Daily situations of laughter, tears, non sense conversation and flirtation with the opposite gender are directly discussed. It is obvious Chloe had first hand experience. Her writing style helps the reader to appreciate what love they are able to give IF they take care of #1 - themselves. This book is a must for the young and not so young to read BEFORE becoming old.
