このコンテンツについて
A stunning 10th anniversary edition of Rev. Dr. Jade C. Angelica’s beloved memoir and pastoral guide for those who love someone with Alzheimer's. With a new foreword by Dr. Stephen G. Post.
In 2001, Jade C. Angelica's mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, and thus began a surprising and transformative journey for both mother and daughter. From the early stages of the disease until her mother died, Angelica was dedicated to her mother's care. In that time she learned about grief, relationship, the nature of selfhood, and the unexpected blessings of Alzheimer's disease. She also found a purpose and embarked on her life's work—to teach that people with Alzheimer's can have meaningful lives, relationships, joy, and growth. Where Two Worlds Touch is both a memoir and a pastoral guide for those who love someone with Alzheimer's. It offers heartfelt wisdom on preserving connection, self-care, and staying open to the possibility of grace.
In this updated 10th anniversary edition of her beloved book, Angelica adds more learnings from her years in Alzheimer’s ministry and important discoveries from the world of science. She draws on interfaith theological and spiritual resources, historical information, medical research, social context, and practical know-how from professional and family caregivers, as well as her own life’s story to provide a life-changing resource for those who need its gifts.

"Where Two Worlds Touch is an accessible and compassionate guide to understanding and loving someone with Alzheimer’s. Through her own personal experience and spiritual training, Jade Angelica offers a shift in perspective about Alzheimer’s that shines a loving light on what is still there instead of what is lost. This is the book I wished for when my grandmother had Alzheimer’s." —Dr. Lisa Genova, New York Times best-selling author of Still Alice and Remember: The Science of Memory and the Art of Forgetting
"Every chaplain, theologian, caregiver, and healthcare professional can find profound truth captured on each page of Where Two Worlds Touch. Jade Angelica builds from the narrative of her experience as a caregiver, and invites the reader to journey with her into the highly significant theo-philosophical literature that has arisen in the last decade around the experience of the deeply forgetful and those who care for them. The reader will find that there is a place for love and hope and continuing selfhood in an experience that is more than just half-full if we can see it rightly. This is a beautiful book and the deepest I have read on the topic." —Dr. Stephen G. Post, author of Dignity for Deeply Forgetful People: How Caregivers Can Meet the Challenges of Alzheimer’s Disease
"I am so very impressed by this exceptionally well-written and well-researched book. Jade Angelica deserves rave reviews for her unique balance of compassion, insight, and scientific support on a very complex issue. I strongly recommend Where Two Worlds Touch for caregivers of individuals with Alzheimer’s dementia." —Dr. Robert A. Stern, former Clinical Core Director, Alzheimer’s Disease Center, Boston University School of Medicine
