Finding God's Beauty in Alzheimer's and Dementia

Released November 18, 2024 by Focus on the Family Broadcast

 

Sarah Smith shares the heartbreaking story of navigating her mother’s journey with Early-Onset Alzheimer’s disease. Sarah’s mom, “Beauty,” was full of life, strong and independent. When she began slipping mentally, she and her husband tried to cover up the problem, and Beauty refused to go to the doctor for years. Eventually, Sarah’s dad had to ask for help and that led to many emotional, physical and spiritual challenges for Sarah’s parents and family. Sarah found comfort in God’s abiding presence, even when the stress and struggles with Beauty seemed overwhelming.   Receive the book Broken Beauty plus a free audio download of “Helping or Hurting: Understanding the Power of Your Words” for your donation of any amount!
