    DEMENTIA and OUR LOVE, Caregiving as spiritual practice, is the story of Gary and Heather’s love that sustained them through an unusual and courageous life across continents, including tending Gary and his onset of dementia at 73 years. The story helped them remember their love and use this energy to move through the hard times. “We will always remember us this way,” a song by Lady Gaga, was pivotal in keeping Heather’s focus.

    Heather uses the original love letters and Gary’s poetry (with his permission) to set the scene that became the foundation for strength and resilience, continually starting again with loving presence. 
    Well-known dementia care educator Teepa Snow says of this book, “This captivating memoir explores the lives of two creative, spiritual, passionate individuals who found their way to one another and walked hand-in-hand through Gary’s dementia. Their energetic connection is so powerful and exceptional that one cannot help but be touched.”

    Women in Ancient Egypt held a unique and significant position within the broader social and cultural framework of their civilization. Unlike in many ancient societies, Egyptian women enjoyed a considerable amount of rights and freedoms, especially when compared to their contemporaries in other parts of the world. The role of women in Egyptian society was largely defined by a combination of legal rights, religious significance, and familial responsibilities, with many women being able to exercise substantial influence in both public and private spheres. 
    Socially, women in Ancient Egypt were often portrayed as equals to men, and their contributions to society were highly valued. While men generally dominated the spheres of politics, military, and high-ranking religious offices, women were not excluded from positions of authority, especially within the royal family and the religious hierarchy. For example, queens, priestesses, and high-ranking women could wield political power and influence in matters of state and governance. However, their roles were primarily centered around the family and domestic life. Marriage and motherhood were central to a woman’s identity, and women were expected to oversee the household and care for children. 
    In terms of legal rights, women in Ancient Egypt were granted many protections and privileges. They had the ability to own property, enter into contracts, and even initiate divorce if necessary. This level of autonomy was relatively rare in the ancient world, where women were often considered the property of their fathers or husbands. Egyptian women also had the right to inherit property, and they could pass on property to their children, ensuring that their lineage could maintain wealth and status. These legal rights enabled women to participate in economic transactions, manage estates, and even become wealthy landowners in some cases.
