    Dignity for Deeply Forgetful...

    For caregivers of deeply forgetful people: a book that combines new ethics guidelines with an innovative program on how to communicate and connect with people with Alzheimer's. 
     
    How do we approach a "deeply forgetful" loved one so as to notice and affirm their continuing selfidentity? For three decades, Stephen G. Post has worked around the world encouraging caregivers to become more aware of—and find renewed hope in—surprising expressions of selfhood despite the challenges of cognitive decline. 
     
    In this book, Post offers new perspectives on the worth and dignity of people with Alzheimer's and related disorders despite the negative influence of "hypercognitive" values that place an ethically unacceptable emphasis on human dignity as based on linear rationality and strength of memory. This bias, Post argues, is responsible for the abusive exclusion of this population from our shared humanity.  
     
    With vignettes and narratives, he argues for a deeper dignity grounded in consciousness, emotional presence, creativity, interdependence, music, and a self that is not "gone" but "differently abled."  
     
    Post covers key practical topics such as: 
    • understanding the experience of dementia 
    • noticing subtle expressions of continuing selfhood, including "paradoxical lucidity" 
    • perspectives on ethical quandaries from diagnosis to terminal care and everything in between, as gleaned from the voices of caregivers 
    • how to communicate optimally and use language effectively 
    • the value of art, poetry, symbols, personalized music, and nature in revealing self-identity 
    • the value of trained "dementia companion" dogs 
     
    At a time when medical advances to cure these conditions are still out of reach and the most recent drugs have shown limited effectiveness, Post argues that focusing discussion and resources on the relational dignity of these individuals and the respite needs of their caregivers is vital. Grounding ethics  
    on the equal worth of all conscious human beings, he provides a cautionary perspective on preemptive assisted suicide based on cases that he has witnessed. He affirms vulnerability and interdependence as the core of the human condition and celebrates caregivers as advocates seeking social and economic  
    justice in an American system where they and their loved ones receive only leftover scraps. Racially inclusive and grounded in diversity, Dignity for Deeply Forgetful People also includes a workshop appendix focused on communication and connection, "A Caregiver Resilience Program," by Rev. Dr. Jade C. Angelica.

    A nation in mourning. A city recovering. A unique moment in history when people came together to rebuild hope. 
    When an unimaginable crisis emerged, politically polarized Oregon found a common mission. Three weeks after the September 11th terrorist attacks, airplanes were empty and the New York economy was tanking. So one thousand Freedom Fliers committed to taking sixty-two flights to NYC and infusing local businesses with revenue to show their unwavering support. 
    Arriving en masse to the grief-filled streets, Oregonians from diverse backgrounds and social statuses came to make a difference in their fellow Americans' lives. But beyond the much-needed economic boost, these unsung heroes discovered themselves providing something even more essential... their open hearts. 
    Sally Ruth Bourrie, freelance writer for the Chicago Tribune and The Boston Globe, witnessed firsthand this remarkable phenomenon sparked by the 2001 Flight for Freedom. 
    In a comprehensive and poignant account, she brings this extraordinary and largely unknown story vividly to life. In Oregon Loves New York, you'll discover: 
    - How everyday people can make a huge difference by being present for others in times of need 
    -Ways a divided community can put aside politics, ideologies, and disagreements to achieve amazing things together 
    - Almost 700 pages of tales of courage and humanity, including 200 full-color photographs, 100 personal interviews, 20 years of research, and archival news pieces now lost to history 
    - Heart-touching examples of the healing power of person-to-person contact and how we as a nation can honor each other 
    - Insight into a little-known event with a huge impact, positive messages of hope, and much, much more!
