ABOUT THE BOOK

“I want to go home.” Of course! This is a true feeling. We all want to feel at home. We want to be in a familiar place with a familiar routine and in connection with people we know. Memory loss, dementia, Alzheimer’s, and truly any move to a new home complicate responding to this plea for home. Rather than deny the wish to go home, or argue with facts, calmly and compassionately provide a re-directed activity—share the pages of “Home is a Feeling.” It recognizes this longing to be home while providing gentle reassurance of finding comfort and contentment in life’s familiar moments. Each page of this simple book describes one everyday moment in a few words and with a softly detailed, colorful painting. Extra large, bold text set on uncluttered pages captures attention. Having a book to read allows a once-avid reader the opportunity to continue a favorite pastime — being absorbed in the pages of a book. Additionally, it provides a treasury of topics for meaningful, shared conversation as you go through the pages together. Get lost in the soulful parting message of Christian hope: Our eternal home has been lovingly prepared for us. There, we will be at peace and at Home.
