Want to Read $ 9.99"This longing for explanation is timeless and universal. The common thread in these stories is that suffering rarely "is what it is." More often than not, protagonists have to face challenges on their path before they can come out the other end and achieve peace, light, love, or another form of victory."-Eveline Helmink, When a Loved One Has Dementia: A Comforting Companion for Family and Friends
"Issues of meaning and purpose are all about the road we have to travel. Stories help us to gain a better understanding of life. By putting ourselves in other people's shoes, we can safely experience what it means to be afraid yet show courage, to lose yet be triumphant. Identification with a story activates the same parts of the brain that the actual experience would have fired."-Eveline Helmink, When a Loved One Has Dementia: A Comforting Companion for Family and Friends
