I am pleased to announce that my first book, “Surrounded by Love: A Family’s Journey Through Stroke Recovery” was released on Amazon last month and is leading the new releases category in Ageing parents And LinesI firmly believe that this book will reach those who need it most – caregivers, advocates for seriously ill relatives, and anyone who can find comfort and counsel in my family’s story.

You may learn a little about our story if you follow me on social media or listen to my podcast, Aging in Style. My husband Mark suffered the first of four severe strokes on Christmas Day 2022.

We all know someone who has experienced a catastrophic health crisis, but we usually think (and pray) that this never our family. The saying…life can change in the blink of an eye is unfortunately very true. This unexpected journey has taught me a lot about strokes, how to advocate for a loved one, and how to be a caregiver (and not lose yourself in the process).

I called it “Surrounded by Love” because even as my family was going through this horrific time, our family, friends, and church brought us food, hosted fundraisers, set up a GoFundMe, and prayed for us. It was incredible to experience this outpouring of love and support.

You can purchase the book from Amazon in hardcover, paperback, Kindle and Audible (coming soon) formats. All proceeds from the sale of the book will go towards Mark’s ongoing care needs.
