Story
Few books tell the story from a caregiver’s or loved one’s perspective. Lori’s experience, prayers, and lessons learned remind people that they don’t need to have all the answers. The patient is not alone in the process, and open communication among the whole care team is vital for the healthy recovery of the entire family unit.

"If you're looking for a thorough and practical guide to starting and operating a non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) business, you've found the right book. The author covers every aspect of setting up a NEMT business and offers helpful hints and information for best practices in every step and facet of your journey.

Do you have a friend or loved one who has cancer? Don’t Bring Lasagna is a book for people who know someone who has cancer and is struggling with how best to interact with them. When someone suddenly gets sick, it can be difficult for people to relate to them. What do you say? How do you act? These are fair questions that many people struggle with this. When I had cancer, I was always surprised at how people reacted to me. Some people always knew just what to say and do while others felt very uncomfortable. This is understandable as there is no guidebook for how to handle these situations...

Two of Heller’s professional writing friends told him that he would be run out of town if he ever dared to publish “Last Call”, probably the most brutally honest book about caring for a parent with dementia you will ever read. But here it is. In spare but specific, almost poetic images, Heller evokes the despair of being buried alive with Alzheimer’s both for him the caretaker and his mother the cared-for, his unwillingness to offer up his mother to the assembly line of need-blind medical care, and the feeling of relief, of a debt paid in full, that came with her death.
