Travels in Place

A Journey Into Memory Loss

 by Christiane W. Griffin-Wehr

A STORY OF LIFE & DEATH WITH DIGNITY

Travels in Place by Christiane W. Griffin-Wehr launches you into the redemptive revelation that sometimes going deeper into relationship is more important than traveling farther.

Travels in Place powerfully transforms a journey of wrenching loss and emptiness into a celebration of hearts fulfilled.

Travels in Place dares you to bridge the vast distances between caregiver and care-receiver by simply holding the other’s hands firmly across the chasm.

This book is truly a love story begging to be told.

 “Travels in Place is a wise and helpful book about a difficult and yet radiant journey through Alzheimer's. The author leads us through the profound challenge of becoming her mother's caregiver. She learns that medical expertise is not the helper she needs. Instead, humor, an open mind, and a deep heart are the tools of the task before her.  This is one book about the  Alzheimer's journey that you won't be afraid to read.”

“Somehow, Chris Griffin-Wehr has managed to make a wrenching end-of-life story into a gripping, tender, poetic clarification of what death-with-dignity really means. ...this book should become required reading for any aspiring or practicing health professional who cares for the elderly and their families.”
