In the summer of 1977, standing on a roadside somewhere between Dachau and Munich, twenty-two-year-old Mike Barnes experienced the dawning of the psychic break he'd been anticipating almost all his life.

In brief passages that cast fresh light on what it means to live with dementia, Barnes shares trials, insights, solace-and, ultimately, inspiration. Meant to be a companion in waiting rooms, on bus routes, or while a loved one naps, Be With is a dippable source of clarity for harried readers who might only have time for a few lines or paragraphs. Mike Barnes writes with sensitivity and grace about fellowship, responsibility, and joyful relatedness-what it means to simply be with the people that we love"--]]></description><link>https://stmarys.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S12C654150</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://stmarys.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S12C654150</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Barnes, Mike]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://stmarys.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/654150012</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Letters to A Caregiver</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781771962438/MC.GIF&amp;client=strtp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
