Journey Publications
Presents
The Journey Bookstore
We’re featuring two books brimming with compassionate (yet practical) solutions to everyday problems encountered by families caring for loved ones with Alzheimer’s or related conditions. Our authors know first-hand there is little time in a caregiver’s day to read a lot at one sitting. Therefore, every page in their caregiver books stands alone, offering an uplifting reflection and a practical caregiving tip based on experience and grounded in love. As you continue on this site, you’ll be able to read sample pages from the books and also learn about caregiver workshops and programs created by the authors.
It’s back!
Coping With Caring is back!
The new revised edition is a daily caregiver companion containing 365
practical caregiving tips, 365 uplifting reflections,
and a 10-page topic-driven index.
Through Coping With Caring you’ll learn to manage stress,
overcome guilt and frustration, avoid isolation, know when and
how to ask for help, maintain your loved one’s dignity, take care of yourself
and much more!
Lyn Roche is a
popular author, freelance writer, weekly newspaper columnist, and public
speaker. Her father and mother-in-law
were victims of Alzheimer’s disease. Coping
With Caring is the result of years of caregiving and a desire to help others experiencing similar
daily challenges. The first edition was
overwhelmingly embraced nationally. It
has continued to be sought out by caregivers since it was first published in
1996.

Workshops and
Seminars

need!
A Breath of Fresh
Air workshop for caregivers!
Together, Lyn and Bill Roche present a refreshing workshop
laced with love and necessary humor only those who experience day-today
caregiving can understand. Their unique
two-hour workshop is non-technical and user friendly. They share and deal with Alzheimer’s disease
and related conditions in a practical, realistic manner designed to uplift
caregivers and validate the dignity of their memory-impaired care
recipients. Both family caregivers and
professional caregivers benefit greatly by experiencing “a Breath of Fresh
Air”.
While
writing Coping With Caring, Lyn
circulated questionnaires to caregivers across the
How To Be A Friend To An Alzheimer’s Caregiver Seminar!
While traveling the
country meeting with caregivers, Lyn and Bill hear one overwhelmingly common
statement from primary caregivers. They
say, “Our friends don’t come around anymore and our church seems to have
forgotten about us, too.”
Lyn and Bill believe
people really want to help. They began
offering presentations to civic groups, retirement communities and faith
communities. “How to Be A Friend To An Alzheimer’s Caregiver” was birthed. Be sure to contact them if you’d like your
group to do a better job of reaching out to families affected by Alzheimer’s or
related conditions. Service clubs and
churches around the country have learned to bless those caring for a
memory-impaired loved one.
Sharing The Care Presentations!
Most family caregivers
want to take care of their loved ones at home forever. But, for numerous reasons it isn’t always
possible. As advanced age and/or
irreversible conditions progress, the daily care of professionals often becomes
necessary. Lyn and Bill Roche wrote
Sharing The Care to advance a
team approach to caregiving. They cast
caring for the elderly in a new exciting light.
Family caregivers and professionals now work together to insure
continued loving care. They have created
an insightful, interactive seminar based on their personal experience with care
facilities and the book they wrote.
Hosting this presentation in your Adult Living Facility or skilled care
facility is an excellent way to introduce your adult care center to families in
your community. For more info, call
800-596-2455.
Support Groups
Caring for a loved
one with dementia can be an extremely stressful and challenging
experience. It need not be a lonely one,
but unfortunately for many caregivers, it is.
Isolation can be damaging
to both the caregiver and their memory-impaired loved one. Whether you are a primary caregiver at home
or your loved one resides in a care facility, you need a safe place where you
can come weekly to share with others who are experiencing similar
circumstances, feelings, frustrations, and successes. Yes, successes!
Lyn and Bill Roche,
for many years, have facilitated a weekly support group. It’s a peaceful time of fellowship and love
shared around a table brimming with warm, home-baked cookies, hot coffee, and
juice.
Caregivers need a
place to come weekly to relax, share concerns, ideas, and form relationships
with other families going through the same life-changing experience.
Bill and Lyn are
available to help your organization or faith community form and set up your own
caring place. As facilitators they’ve
learned why some support groups are successful and some are not. They know what works and what doesn’t. Don’t try to start one without Lyn and Bill’s
help! Call them! (800)596-2455
