Promises of Hope as the Memories Fade

"In the journey of Alzheimers, both my mother's journey and my family caring for her and watching this wonderful woman start to fade away, like a ship that's disappearing into the mist, ever so slowly but ever so surely . . . propelled by some implacable wind that you can't control and yet you have to face it . . . for me, the only way to face it was with faith."

—Edward Grinnan

Life is fragile, especially so at the beginning and end of life. For many of us, we are holding the hand of our loved ones as they age and the memories they have cherished slowly fade from their grasp.  Join Colleen Swindoll Thompson and Edward Grinnan, the Editor-in-Chief of Guideposts, as they share real talk about his journey of faith through his mother’s Alzheimer’s and his own fear of getting the disease.

Listen in to learn:

· Where to find God in the hard times
· The greatest end-of-life needs
· What to do when you feel hopeless
· How to cut the guilt-strings 

We pray this episode helps give you strength for today and hope for tomorrow. To learn more about Edward Grinnan and his book, A Journey of Faith, click here. Want to read some of Edward's work? Visit the Guideposts website.

About Colleen Swindoll Thompson

For all who have ventured through domestic abuse, parenting a child with multiple disabilities, identity theft, medical mayhem, a difficult divorce, betrayal from trusted Christians and the like . . . I understand.

As my faith was sifted to the core, a hope-filled foundation began to take root through a relentless examination of God’s truths and a daily dependence on the empowering work of the Holy Spirit.

My experience as a caregiver, ongoing physical pain, education in psychology, and certification as a life coach have given me an unwavering passion to encourage and equip caregivers and their families with truths and tools that help them live well regardless of life’s ever-changing circumstances.

I’ve spent most of my life living in the states of California and Texas. In 1993, I graduated with a degree in Communications and a double-minor in Education and Psychology. My husband is my hero, and combined we have five witty, creative young adult children. I treasure time with my family, reading on quiet afternoons, and, when my body lets me after back surgery, fulfilling my never-ending wish to win yard-of-the-month through gardening.
