Nell Noonan, Not Alone: Encouragement for Caregivers
As the healthy spouse of a chronically ill mate, author Nell Noonan knows firsthand that a caregiver's life "often lends itself to isolation, loneliness, and abdicated personal needs." Not Alone is the product of Noonan's realization that an authentic caregiver's devotional book should support individuals commited to attending to an ill or impaired loved one or friend. Each devotion features a Bible scripture passage, a personal anecdote, and a prayer. Sometimes funny, often poignant, and always heartfelt, Not Alone offers insight from someone who has "been there too."
Not Alone is available through Amazon and other bookstores.
