Finding the Bright Side

A Daughter's Love and Care for Her Mother with Alzheimer's
 
My dear friend, Marlene Beckner, recently lost her beloved mother to Alzheimer’s Disease.  Marlene was blessed to be able to fulfill a childhood promise she had made to her mother to care for her at home if she ever became unable to care for herself.  While taking care of her mother, God graciously helped her find the bright side of Alzheimer’s Disease and has become passionate about sharing her message with others. 

FINDING THE BRIGHT SIDE:  Actively Seeking and Finding the Bright Side of Alzheimer’s Disease
is the story of how she and her mother gained victory over Alzheimer’s Disease.  Marlene’s prayer is that many will see this difficult disease from a new perspective. 

I've already read Marlene's wonderful book, and having lost my own very special mother to cancer, my vision was blurred many times with tears, as I read about Marlene's own down times, lonliness and grief. 

She is such an amazing woman though, as she found a bright side to each difficulty she faced in caring for her mother.  In her book Marlene also shares very helpful, practical tips that made caring for her mother so much easier.  My husband said he wanted to read it as well, and found it to be helpful and inspirational.

Whether or not you have a parent or loved one suffering with Alzheimer's or another disease, this book will help you in actively seeking and finding the bright side in any situation!  The book is a quick read, and you will surely benefit greatly, as we did.

FINDING THE BRIGHT SIDE by Marlene Krafft Beckner is available on Amazon.com for $8.64 through the following link:  http://amzn.com/1451537816, and it is well worth your short time to read it!
