About this ebook

“Judy is a wonderful physical therapist, who has energy, enthusiasm and the best ‘can do’ attitude. She has accurately given a description of the major task of ‘in-home care’ that most people cannot understand. I applaud her efforts; both the monumental task of care for Dean (who was a super guy) and writing this helpful book. Job well done!”

—Joyce Dunlevy Cready, RN, BSN, Rehabilitation

“I want to commend Mrs. Jennings on the work done to put together this book. It will be a valuable resource for patients and caregivers, and provides an honest and thoughtful look at her experiences with LBD. It was an honor to care for Dean and I know that her work with him and in this book will help others who are going through the same difficult life journey.”

—Andrew P. Duker, MD, Neurology

“This book is medically appropriate and concise. The information has breadth that is not available in other books. I will recommend it to all my patients with Lewy Body Dementia.”

—James P. Simcoe, MD, Family Practice

“What an outstanding caregiver and loving wife to share this most personal knowledge, gained from her heartfelt experience with Lewy Body Dementia.”

Author

Judy Towne Jennings

Judy Towne Jennings shares her caregiving and widowhood journeys with heartful sincerity. During those crises, she lost her spouse and also her sense of self. Writing her first book, "Living with Lewy Body Dementia, One Caregiver’s Personal, In-Depth Experience," helped her find a sense of purpose. She is pleased that it is reaching caregivers all across the globe. With her second book, she chronicles how she created an improved version of her former self throughout her widowhood journey. Judy has had a penchant to fix what is broken: her patients, her husband, and now the societal perspectives constraining widows and widowers. Too often, she felt that she was expected to wear the label of a poor, unfortunate widow for the rest of her life. That is not her nature. The Widowhood book strongly endorses a life of ambitious adventures orchestrated by the God of the Universe including passion and breath-taking moments. Through her heroine, Anna, Judy shares some of the many unexplained miracles sprinkled into her life. Knowing God has her back is inspiring. One reason for the book is to boldly state that If this can happen to her, it can happen for anyone. She invites other seniors to journal with her friend, God, her fount of unconditional love. When she learned to love her new self, she had sufficient love to spill over onto the many new people who entered her life. This book is Judy’s loving message to all widows and lonely seniors everywhere. “We are meant to have love-filled adventures directed by a personal God for as long as we remain on this side of Heaven.”
