Hand-in-Hand Through Alzheimer's Dark Valley, authored by pastor and husband Allan W. Vincent, is shaped by fifty-plus years of marriage and ministry. It does not offer a checklist for managing dementia. Vincent offers something far more demanding and far more beautiful: an unexpected calling. When Lynne's Alzheimer's diagnosis arrived, Allan was not summoned to become her project manager. He was called to remain her husband… This is not a book about what you could do differently. It is a book about what you are called to be–when words fail, when memory fades, and when the person you love can no longer remember your name… Anchored in Scripture and searingly honest about grief, loneliness, and hard-won hope, this memoir reveals that caring is less a task to be mastered and more a vow to be kept. And for the road ahead, you will not be left without provision. Practical appendices covering medical terminology, long-term care finances, caregiving resources, and Scripture for dark valleys ensure that when you close the final page, you are not only consoled–you are equipped.
Allan and Lynne Vincent have served across Canada in pastoral ministry, as Fellowship International missionaries in Japan, and for eighteen years with the Slavic Gospel Association.
Hand-In-Hand is available through Amazon.
