Caretakers The Forgotten People

Here is a well-told story of a woman's experience during & after her husband's death from cancer. Maita begins with a short background sketch, then tells of her meeting & falling in love with Bill. After coming to terms with Bill's alcoholism, they prepare for a long, fulfilling life together, but this is not to be. Bill is diagnosed as terminal only three years after retirement. Maita describes their trials & triumphs as she & Bill learn to cope with his impending death. Maita Floyd's writing is never self-pitying, nor does it needlessly glorify her tragic experience. With simple dignity & grace, she makes a strong statement on behalf of those who care for a loved one, knowing they will soon be left alone. This is an excellent addition to any library of books on dying, grieving & caregiving.--ARIZONA NETWORKING NEWS.
