Why I Wrote Rosemary's Way

Some of cultural, societal, and personal reasons for writing and sharing this book.

I spent 4+ years writing this book, and since my Mum was my best friend it was incredibly painful at times to relive some of the moments.

Fueling me to keep going was:

1. Her wish for me to write about our experience;

2. My belief that our story could help people find peace and support in similar situations;

3. The knowledge that 55 million people are already struggling with dementia, millions more who love them are also struggling, and about 3 million more will be diagnosed every year - and our culture has a hard time talking about the diagnosis and options, so suffering is compounded.
