Passage Into Paradise - A Caregiver's Journey


© Karen Largent

Welcome. For the next few months, I will be featuring articles by Dorothy Womack, a woman I have never met except via e-mail. She was referred to me by Gail Mitchell and I thank Gail for the priveledge to meet Dorothy and share her work and experiences with you.

Dorothy cared for her mother until her passing, her mother was a victim of Alzheimer's. Dorothy cared for her in her home. This in itself is a sacrifice of love, self, home and personal life. She did this for love and with a deep faith.

Dorothy has put her experiences as her mother's caregiver into on online book to share with all.

Over the next few weeks and months I will present her work to you in a special series of articles. I believe her work is important to share with all who care for a loved one with Alzheimer's Disease.

The following is the beginning of a journey, it is not for the faint of heart and may be disturbing to some. Please read and feel free to comment. This article covers Dorothy's experiences during 1991, 1992 and 1993. Her Mom lived with her for 14 years total, the last 4 was when she was totally bedfast and was her sole caregiver 24/7 (her husband worked 3 jobs to pay the bills).....Most of the book about her is contained in the years 1992 through 1996, when she died - However,she did start some excerpts before coming home to stay with her full-time on January 1, 1992

Please be sure to return in the next weeks and months to read the rest of this moving account of a caregiver.

Passage Into Paradise

by Dorothy Womack

Welcome to PASSAGE INTO PARADISE -----

I finally decided to put it my book about my own mother's experience with Alzheimers up on the Web for anyone who needs help. It is a very graphic, detailed story - not for the fainthearted. This is a book for those who are keeping their loved ones at home until the end comes. Although there are gruesome realities, there are also amazing spiritual, supernatural experiences, both for my mother and myself. My mother saw Heaven on at least 4 occasions and came back to tell me about it. I saw my mother after she died, for a brief 3 seconds. In my original book, I set apart the Spirit of God's direct comments to me from my own - However, the conversion has rendered much of the wording the same. So you will have to go by instinct in sorting out what came from my thoughts and what came to me directly from the Spirit of God. I believe He speaks to all who will listen - We just need an open heart and mind....
