Judy Collier
13 January 2026

Memoirs; Age groups: the elderly; Care of the elderly; Coping with illness

When a devoted wife stepped into the role of caregiver for her husband during his journey with dementia, she found solace in journaling - capturing the routines, challenges, and quiet triumphs of daily life. What began as a private coping tool became a heartfelt guide for others walking the same path.

Lunches with Ed offers practical insights born from lived experience, not theory. It's a gentle, honest companion for those navigating the emotional terrain of caregiving - validating the sadness, frustration, and fear that often come with it, while also celebrating the moments of laughter, connection, and unexpected joy.

Compact and comforting, this book is designed to be kept close - on a nightstand, in a purse, or tucked into a drawer - ready to remind caregivers that they are not alone. Above all, it's a tribute to the enduring love that caregiving calls forth, and the strength found in showing up, day after day.
