Compassionate and Empathetic Insights

Shortly after ordering the booklets in the series, my brother passed away. Fortunately, I had read "Butterflies" and found the text so compassionate, easy to read, relatable, and empathetic that I ordered the rest of the set in multiple copies to share with my siblings.
I identified with anticipatory grief and found solace and great comfort.
Reading the 3 other booklets "after the fact (death)" helped me even more to grieve in my own way while helping other family members and friends grieve.
I highly recommend the booklets to anyone who has a relationship with a terminally ill person. You gain insight into your feelings as well as gain more compassion and empathy for your relative/friend. You can go back to the topics whenever you need.

Hi Relda, thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a heartfelt and thoughtful review. We are truly sorry for your loss, and we are grateful that our booklets were able to offer some comfort and support during such a difficult time. Your words are a reminder of why we do what we do, and we hope that our resources continue to provide solace and understanding for those facing similar challenges.

Thank you for recommending our booklets to others. It means a lot to us that our work has resonated with you and your family. We wish you all the best and are here for you whenever you need us.

Tough subject matter that was explained with grace

Our hospice social worker provided a packet of information recently that included the book "Nature Gave us Butterflies." Upon reading this title, I noticed there was a book from the same publisher that discussed Dementia in the same caring and easy to understand analogous format. I placed an order for 2 copies (one for my sister and the other for myself.) "The Whisper of the Fallen Oak" has helped me better understand the journey we are currently taking with Dad. Many times the easiest day was yesterday, but there are others where the message definitely resonated. Understanding the guilt that has plagued me during this process of change for my father and myself has been extremely helpful. The decisions I make for him (now at least) come with the confidence that my experience is shared by others going through similar events and outcomes every day.

Hi Robert, thank you so much for taking the time to write a review for The Whisper of the Fallen Oak. There is little else that makes a writer happier than to know this work is making a difference in the lives of others. My thoughts are with you as you navigate the caregiver role and the feelings and experiences that accompany it.

The Whisper of the Fallen Oak is an all-in-one primer for family members and caregivers of dementia patients. Covering the early, middle, late, and end stages of dementia, this carefully crafted booklet informs without overwhelming while using the metaphor of the oak tree life cycle. 

At a stressful or traumatic time in their lives, caregivers may: 

  • experience overwhelm and aren't able to retain information well;
  • not know what to expect from the dementia disease process;
  • lack confidence in themselves to provide the care the patient needs.

This booklet reinforces your teaching and gently supports them in this difficult time, resulting in caregivers experiencing more confidence in their knowledge and abilities to care for and interact with their loved one. Caregivers who have read The Whisper of the Fallen Oak report feeling relieved, reassured, and hopeful.

Using nature metaphors makes emotionally difficult materials easier to digest and remember. Using the life cycle of the oak tree, the reader is gently educated and supported through a myriad of details that can easily overwhelm.
