Book: What My Grandchildren Taught Me about Alzheimer’s Disease

Chapter: “God Never Prays Back” Spirituality: God IS "Praying back" with the Individual with Alzheimer's

DOI: 10.1558/equinox.43549

Blurb:

The spirituality of the individual with Alzheimer’s should not be negated or excluded in his or her continuing care. Spirituality is the way individuals find meaning, hope, comfort and inner peace in their lives, and therefore should be nurtured and respected throughout the disease progression. Caregivers should recognize and reverence the spirituality of each affected individual.
