Beyond Diagnosis: A Caregiver’s Journey

By Dr. Gillian G. Curry Williams

“He who dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the sgadow of the Almighty” Psalm 91:KJV
No one can fully capture nor describe what patients go through, especially when they suffer long-term illnesses. At some point, though, we have to change the narrative of care beyond diagnosis and treatment. Since there is no definitive method for caring for loved ones during these times, our love has to be the biggest potential to transform their lives.
This book is my personal attempt to go beyond the diagnosis and share MY journey as a caregiver. This is all in an effort to change the perspective of caregiving. I also wanted the views of loved ones who suffered from these debilitating illnesses to be included in this narrative to ensure that you understand that beyond the diagnosis are human beings capable of and in need of being loved and treated with the dignity and respect that every human being deserves.
EVERYONE has a story to tell, and NO ONE can tell your story like you can. – Dr. Gillian
