God Knows Why
by Jonathan Taylor
Price: $0.99 USD. 10610 words.
Published on May 24, 2011. Nonfiction.
Fourth in its series on family caregiving, this book touches on some of the insights, awakenings and revelations that have touched the author in 16 years of giving care. The offbeat nature of the author's religeous upbringing (eastern non-conformist before the beatniks)flavors the views presented in a way designed not to offend the open-minded.

Biography
I met a woman in a wheelchair 16 years ago and married her five years later. Her mother became disabled and moved in with us a year after that. I was primary caregiver to both of them for ten years until her mother's death by legal attended suicide in our family room. I learned and wrote practical short humor about the art and science of staying sane while my mother-in-law lived in the middle of my marriage. As my wife Lisa is directly or indirectly the source of everything I wrote, she shares authorship with me in my e-books. We live in Oregon in the last home we shared with her mother.

Commitment to Compassion

This first person narrative offers tips, ideas, secrets and things that work for family caregivers permanently hosting a disabled relative. Told from the male perspective, the concept of controlling what you think, feel, say and do in the name of damage control is functionally androgynous. Sprinkled with light humor, the author addresses many caregiving issues with insights born of experience.
