Pulled Under

"e;I cannot breathe, I claw upward towards a flicker of light, creating the resistance that pulls me deeper. I am drowning in a swirling, angry sea. I struggle, intensely fighting the powerful pull that drags me deeper into the abyss, until... I am pulled under."e;For anyone who's been tasked with caregiving for another, or anyone who's beside someone struggling with dementia, this book is for you. When Kath DeLorme assumed the role as caregiver for her husband who had dementia, resources about the internal struggles of loss and grief were sparse. Places of darkness and hope, feeling competent yet helpless, converged. Through this book, DeLorme shares her story in hopes of offering wisdom, inspiration, and companionship. In a book about love, loss, navigating dementia, and self-discovery, Kath DeLorme takes readers on a journey about courage and resilience. It is Kath's dream that writing this book becomes a "e;Gift"e; to all those who venture in; especially those who are, or who've been, in a caregiving role for a loved one. Her hope is that sharing her story empowers you, or someone you know, to caress and become acquainted with the pain held within your own heart. These stories are an honest account of an abusive childhood, finding true love, building a career, and eventually learning the emotional and logistical aspects of caregiving for her husband and his struggles with dementia. This book's insights allow readers to traverse the sometimes lonely yet unpredictable process of grief in order to honor the love.
