"Before writing this book, Joy Thomas was just like you; she had an IT Project Manager career with an eye on the last chapter of her professional career and embraced the transition from parenthood to grandparenthood. However, there was a stage of life that she had not considered, one where she would become the primary caregiver to elderly parents with dementia. Since that realisation, Joy is now a dedicated caregiver, and an unwavering advocate for the elderly and their families. Applying her organisational and goal-achieving skills, she has become an eldercare consultant in dementia care advocacy. Joy has established herself as a trusted voice in caregiving and elder support. Her work, grounded in personal experience and enriched by professional expertise, offers a unique blend of heartfelt advice, practical strategies, and compassionate insight. Joy's hands-on experience, coupled with her research into gerontology and health services administration, has endowed her with a deep understanding of the complexities involved in caring for ageing loved ones, particularly those with dementia. She saw firsthand the need for a comprehensive guide that addresses the practical aspects of caregiving and speaks to the emotional and interpersonal challenges faced by families. Her mission is to empower caregivers with knowledge, inspire them with hope, and connect them with a support community, transforming the caregiving experience from a burden to a journey of shared growth, grace and love. In ""Balancing Acts of Grace,"" Joy combines her personal anecdotes with evidence-based practices, offering readers a lifeline in what can often feel like an overwhelming tide. Her writing resonates with authenticity and empathy, making complex topics accessible and providing readers with companionship on their caregiving journey."
