I would like to recommend the professional work and writings of Dr. Annette Childs, Ph.D. Recently Dr. Childs counseled me with regard to my Mother, who has dementia. I have since read her books and exposed myself to the body of her work. I find her compassion and insight into life transition extraordinary; and her ability to support those in crisis enormously comforting! If you are looking for a source to support you and your loved ones, especially in matters of illness, age, and death and dying, I highly recommend Annette.
