How do you continue to find God as dementia pulls your loved one
into the darkness? Nothing is simple for a person suffering from
dementia, and for those they love. When ordinary tasks of
communication, such as using a phone, become complex, then
difficult, and then impossible, isolation becomes inevitable.
Helping becomes excruciating. In these pages philosopher Douglas
Groothuis offers a window into his experience of caring for his
wife as a rare form of dementia ravages her once-brilliant mind and
eliminates her once-stellar verbal acuity. Mixing personal
narrative with spiritual insight, he captures moments of lament as
well as philosophical and theological reflection. Brief interludes
provide poignant pictures of life inside the Groothuis household,
and we meet a parade of caregivers, including a very skilled
companion dog. Losses for both Doug and Becky come daily, and his
questions for God multiply as he navigates the descending darkness.
Here is a frank exploration of how one continues to find God in the
twilight.
