About Elizabeth

I am a registered nurse and a licensed massage therapist who has worked for thirty five years in a wide variety of health care settings, most of which have been with seniors, and/or their families. I was drawn to the elderly from my youngest days and began my work with them as a nurse’s aide in the mid 60’s when I felt called to work in health care. I loved the one on one contact this work allowed and regard nurses aides as saints to this day as their caring is sometimes nearly the only thing some people have in their lives. Read More


About the Book

Clara is an elderly widow, living alone, in the house she and her husband raised two children. She spends her days reminiscing, regretting lost chances, feeling the pain of missing her children who live too far away to visit often. As the days progress, her ability to discern between dream and reality gradually fades, and soon her confusion leads to strange behavior.

Her friend and neighbor, Mary, comes to the rescue, and the family is called in to determine Clara's future.

This poignant novel about aging, written by a geriatric nurse, raises many important points about taking care of our elderly population without simply storing them away in "homes." It will make you think about your own future, and how you would hope to be treated.
