Out of Love: A Daughter’s Journey With Her Mom To The End
By Lynn Abaté-Johnson
After being a primary family caregiver for her mother for over six years, author Lynn Abaté-Johnson understands the typhoon of emotions and responsibilities that come with caring for a loved one. However, she discovered how to blossom through (and after) caregiving rather than let it drown her.
Lynn’s words offer a uniquely personal glimpse into her journey as a daughter of a strong mother, along with her own transformation in the aftermath of being a caregiver.
Lynn’s approach removes the stigma of grief. Her expressive and often vulnerable ways of sharing help to normalize what many families may take for granted or miss in their often overwhelming and new experience as caregivers. There will be discomfort, shame, guilt and layers of conditioning to discover in this book, with the goal of bringing light to the dark and peace to the soul.
Uniquely written, each chapter begins with a journal entry from her 6+ years updating her mom’s CaringBridge page, where she kept family & friends apprised of details of her mom’s cancer journey. Each journal entry is followed by Lynn’s unique transformational journey through caregiving and grief.
