Book To Help Those With Alzheimers
This book came about through the caring love and dedication by poet Terri Wright, whose mother is a victim to the Alzheimer curse.
The pain of seeing her Mother lost in mind to her provoked her into trying to do something to help her and others like her to get the cure needed. With encouragement from her friends Pat Simpson and Daveda Gruber Terri wrote an appeal out on all the internet poetry sites she was a member of appealing for poets to write and donate a poem into this book done to raise funds by giving all the revenue to the charity! The response was immediate with many well known well published poets/ authors writing wonderful words to donate.
Thus Terri saw her hopes of doing something come true!
For here within this book you will find poems that show true understanding for the one suffering the illness and all so much compassion for the families involved that really do feel the pain of seeing a loved one losing all their recollection of them and the day!
There is many wonderful prayer poems too, that have been penned
In appeal to God and His healing Angels to come close around all these patients, to hold them tight and let them feel the love that the families at this time feel as if they are failing to show! There are poems to help theses families understand that it is just a temporary forgetfulness of them by the elderly because when the time comes for God’s calling they will once again see all clarity returned!
The publishers Passion for Poetry happily gave their services for free for the cause
(Pat & Daveda both poets themselves)
Say “It was a pleasure and honor to put this book into print and to be associated with all the esteem poets involved.
Now anyone purchasing the book can do so with the joy of knowing they too have helped raise cash for the fund...
The cover art work done by Pat Simpson shows a couple standing tall against the trees, but small beside the man made tower blocks.
Pat believes the tower blocks are symbolic of the walls people can build around themselves to protect or to sometimes to hide in...
Alzheimers is a tower block that we pray with more help and study
man will find a way of demolishing it...
Please help us to find the way, get a copy of this book and encourage more to buy it at
