In the Land of Forgetfulness: Meditations on Dementia Care as Spiritual Formation

In the Land of Forgetfulness meditatively reflects on dementia caregiving territory previously unexplored: the uncanny parallel of the language used to describe dementia from the outside looking in with the language used by contemplatives and mystics to describe their spiritual formation from the inside looking outward. The quiet passages are written in the interests of providing personal and professional dementia caregivers both solace and resource for the arduous, exhausting, and wearying journey with the Beloved into and through the land of forgetfulness. The spiritually curious will also find the meditations to be provocative and sustaining. The book is a companion volume to the author's previous multi-award-winning collection of reflections, Tears in God's Bottle.
