Shelved

A Memoir of Aging in America

By: Sue Matthews Petrovski

Sue Petrovski has always been capable, thoughtful, and productive. After retiring from a long and successful career in education, she published two books, ran an antiques business, and volunteered in her community. When her mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease and until her death eight years later, Petrovski served as her primary caregiver. She even cared for her husband when he also succumbed to dementia. However, when Petrovski's husband fell ill with sepsis at the age of 82, it threw everything into question. Would he survive? And if so, would she be able to care for him and manage the family home where they had lived for 47 years? More importantly, how long would she be able to do so? After making the decision to sell their house and move into a senior living community, Petrovski found herself thrust into the corporate care model of elder services available in the United States. In Shelved: A Memoir of Aging in America, she reflects on the move and the benefits and deficits of American for-profit elder care. Petrovski draws on extensive research that demonstrates the cultural value of our elders and their potential for leading vital, creative lives, especially when given opportunities to do so, offering a cogent, well-informed critique of elder care options in this country. Shelved provides readers with a personal account of what it is like to leave a family home and enter a new world where everyone is old and where decisions like where to sit in the dining room fall to low-level corporate managers. Showcasing the benefits of communal living as well as the frustrations of having decisions about meals, public spaces, and governance driven by the bottom line, Petrovski delivers compelling suggestions for the transformation of an elder care system that more often than not condescends to older adults into one that puts people first—a change that would benefit us all, whether we are 40, 60, 80, or beyond.

A Return Journey

Hope and Strength in the Aftermath of Alzhiemer's

By: Sue Petrovski

The Return Journey is the result of Susan Matthews Petrovski's personal journals during her mother's 8-year Alzheimer's journey and her correspondence with other Alzheimer's caregivers kind enough to share their innermost feelings and emotions. These caregivers' stories are an inside view into the lessons to be learned from looking through the personal peephole of family members at the heart of the Alzheimer's experience. Petrovski examines right and wrong choices, which will help those whose Alzheimer's journey or caregiving journey is just beginning, clearly and wisely explaining that with Alzheimer's there are no "right" ways, no "best" decisions, and no "perfect" answers.

A Return Journey

Hope and Strength in the Aftermath of Alzheimer's

By: Sue Matthews Petrovski

A Return Journey is truly the author's travels into the world of Alzheimer's. Drawing on her correspondence and conversations with other caregivers, Petrovski provides a unique look at the environment of Alzheimer's--the afflicted, the affected, the afterthoughts. In the end, she talks of the true survivors left behind to deal with the disease's aftermath--the caregivers. Petrovski describes how caregivers traverse the successes and failures of their journey until they eventually find the best route on the rocky path of helping human beings in the throes of diminishing selfhood. Offering caregivers hope, support, and a sense of oneness, A Return Journey demonstrates that as painful as it is to watch a loved one vanish bit by bit, there is grace and wisdom to be found on the way.

Wild Apples

Reflections of a Thoughtful Life

By: Sue Matthews Petrovski

Wild Apples: Reflections for a Thoughtful Life" describes love found in a potato patch, a cup of tea with a friend, and what a grown woman can learn from Winnie the Pooh. It is about hatred, wildness, conformity and making red beans and rice. It is about the self as a blank piece of paper affected by every event large and small, it is about affection, disaffection, and it is about the last rose of summer. Wild Apples will inspire you to look at the events of your life more carefully, using them to help shape a personal life philosophy.
