Spiritual Life, Winter 2003 by Jordan, Regis
Walking One Another Home: Moments of Grace and Possibility in the Midst of Alzheimer's. By Rita Bresnahan. Liguori, Mo.: Liguori Press, 2003. Pp. 156. Hardcover. $19.95.
"The mystery of it all: that each one of us, each day, gets to choose the meaning we place on the events of our lives, gets to choose how to perceive them, how to translate them into our own healing. As I look back, I realize that my mother's illness touched me in most unfathomable ways, calling me to an awareness of the sacred that will abide with me all of my days. How deeply I have been changed by this pilgrimage!" The author's visits with her mother in a Midwest nursing home took on spiritual and emotional meaning in the lives of both women. Their pilgrimage together challenges the stereotypes about Alzheimer's and deftly shifts the emphasis away from fear and horror to love and possibility. This book is about loving, about intentional and spirited ways of living in difficult times.
