"'This is an important book. It needs to be written.' I clearly remember my
reaction when I read the first few pages my mom had penned. Until reading
those lines that gave birth to this book, I had no idea what my mother had
experienced during the eight years that she cared for my Grandma. All I knew
was that my mom was too busy to get on a plane and come visit me...
In life and in this book my mom has taught me that to love another means
being committed to providing the very best possible for them, regardless of
one's personal sacrifice. The story that she shares in this book demonstrates
that while caring for an ailing loved one's physical needs is important,
enveloping them with affection, affirmation and encouragement brings even
deeper healing, healing of the heart, healing for the one receiving care and
the one giving care. I am confident that in these pages, you too will learn from
my mom's strong, loving, selfless example.
From the Foreword -
By Laura Adams, Founder, Photo Legacy Project
"My Mother...My Child is an inspirational account of the love a daughter has
for her mother. Susie has written a heartfelt story of her experience and
emotions during her mother's illness and death. I'm sure that this book will
comfort people in similar situations. It should remind health care providers to
care for each person as if they were our family member. Susie's experience
tells us that, even with our medical training, modern facilities and technology,
we can't provide the same kind of loving care that a family member can. She
reminds us how important it is for families to stay involved. Most of all, Susie
shows us that God is with us during each breath, touch and hug."
