I foundDelores Thornton's book very informative, and on the money, when it comes to what you should do and who to contact if a loved one becomes unable to care for themselves, or dies. It's full of resources for those who don't know where to turn in case sudden tragedy strikes or before it happens!
I look at this book as if it were my Guardian Angel guiding me on what to do next during family crisis, which are inevitable.

"Delores Thornton offers a long overdue Christian devotional handbook for the adult caregiver. With warmth and honesty she shares her struggles as she cares for her fiancé. The advice provided is not only priceless but very vital information. Thornton does an outstanding job--not only educating people about caring for a loved one with special needs--but encouraging them through the difficult transitions. This book is a blessing!"
