The latest title from Karen Gillman addresses the topic of death and those who are left behind. Karen’s husband, Richard, is in the final stages of Alzheimer’s disease and her focus has been to help others cope with the loss of a partner, friend or family member. The long slow farewell is perhaps the most difficult time for any survivor. Karen helps those in the struggle to hold on and accept the release of a loved one based upon her experiences.
