One Last Journey
Finding Hope, Healing, and Purpose After LossBy S. Shields
Length5h 54m
About this audiobook
Patricia danced through life with unstoppable joy. Even as dementia slowly took her, she taught me love's truest meaning in her final years.
One Last Journey is the memoir at the heart of the Scam-Proof Guardian Series. S. Shields cared for his wife through her eleven-year battle with dementia, including the final fourteen months that asked everything of him.
This is the story of the diagnosis that changed everything, the grace she carried through it all, the hand-clasp the day before she died, and the transformation of grief into purpose.
For caregivers, widows, widowers, and anyone who has loved someone they could not save.
If you are walking this road, you are not alone.
Book Five in the Scam-Proof Guardian Series.
"Love never truly dies. It just transforms."
