Slow Loss eBook

What happens to YOU when the person you love slowly unravels from a chronic, incurable disease?

Losing a loved one to a long-term chronic illness is far different than caring for someone with a short-span disease. As our person slowly declines over many years, so can we. And if the slow decline includes cognitive and memory changes in addition to physical challenges, the burden on the caregiver can feel crushing.

"Will I ever have a life back? Will the money last? Will I ever remember the before-disease person I loved? How much more can I take before I, too, fall apart?"

With raw honesty and piercing insight, Slow Loss chronicles a woman's emotional journey as her husband succumbs to Parkinson's and dementia, and she evolves from wife to caregiver to widow.

Inspiring and laced with dark humor, Kelly's poignant memoir unveils the realities of caregiving, from being crushed by anger and fear to making hard decisions with surprising outcomes to finding small ways to stay sane.

It is brave, fresh, and encouraging without toxic positivity or sappiness. It is a story of how a woman broke open from suffering and became a wiser, more compassionate version of herself.

Slow Loss speaks to anyone facing the gradual loss of a loved one, offering hard-earned wisdom, a beacon of hope, and so much love.
