Walking Through the Valley of Dementia

There are a multitude of challenges that care partners of People Living with Dementia (PLwD) face, which can leave them tired and depleted. They may not know where to turn for physical and emotional support, let alone spiritual care, which often goes untended.This self-paced retreat is designed to support the care partner through various retreat exercises and scriptural reflections that create a space for them to engage in their relationship with God. The retreat begins with a discussion of what dementia is and the common challenges that care partners face. Within those challenges, readers will start to explore some of the many invitations God offers in the Valley of Dementia. If, as care partners, readers have felt isolated from those around them, from society, community, church, and even family and friends, they are not alone. Therese Fisher offers this gift of spiritual exploration and relationship-building with the Divine to help nourish and sustain care partners and even help them find new life on the journey through the Valley of Dementia.
