Part keynote, part one-woman play, author and caregiver speaker, Elaine K Sanchez shares her mother's spiritual journey through six-and-a-half years of caring for her husband following his debilitating stroke. Inspired by the letters in her unflinchingly honest and surprisingly funny book, " Letters from Madelyn: Chronicles of a Caegiver ," Elaine takes viewers on a pilgrimage that begins at a point of lightning-strike irreverance. It progresses through Madelyn's exploration into metaphysics, Eastern religions, flower essence, and the practice of Reiki, and it ends with her developing a profound, personal, and trusting relationship with God. This presentation is a real-life exploration of faith while caring for a loved one through decline and death. There are stages of anger, confusion, and depression intertwined with moments of discovery, enlightenment, and pure joy. It will appeal to people who have an open mind, an inquiring spirit, and a compassionate heart. Madelyn's experience proves that there are, indeed, many roads to Damascus and that with grace, courage, and faith, we can find the strength to face almost any challenge.
