A Beautiful Respite For Caregivers

A Beautiful Respite For Caregivers
This radiant gem of a book by Tryn Rose Seley gifted me with moments of peaceful awareness, inspiration, and wise instructions on how to work with a friend, relative or client who lives with dementia or alzheimer's. With clear understandable ideas and text, this book is easy to read and take in not just through the mind, but with the heart. I feel 100% more confident than I did before reading this book that the next time I am in a situation of caring for or spending time with a loved one or client with dementia or alzheimer's, I have a brilliant starting point! The beautiful offering of the 15 minutes of fame technique is fun, accessible, doable and creates a positive win win experience for everyone together. There are sentences in this book that are profound and can be meditated upon for exponential learning and heart level healing. The author is gifted writer, with a voice that reaches into vast areas of consciousness, where learning happens on multiple levels. This is a book of peace and a gift to anyone who reads it, as well as a gift to whoever they interact with using the wisdom gleaned from it!

5.0 out of 5 stars A very important book for improving lives
Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2017

In a world with estimated 47 mio. people living with dementia - a number that is expected to increase as more are getting older and with them the many people caring for them – there is all reason to welcome this book. As a relative to a person with alzheimers I’d like to praise Tryn Rose for having written this wonderful, warm insightful and very applicable book on the matter. It offers a very powerful, positive, yet practical point of view and lots of lively examples on how to help find the person and the people caring a solid ground. The 15 minutes of Fame as a daily vision and the simple strategies illustrated by the many little engaging, easy to understand examples on how to make good use of storytelling, photos, music is a magical tool box for enriching - what could have been depressing and depleting situations - into sharing moments enriched with the feelings of joy, hope and the belief in positive change through human abilities we all possess I'll give it five stars for it's life improving potential for the many and more to come. This is the book you 'd wish to read or hope the other have read, should you ever find yourself either needing or giving this kind of care. in In short: A very important book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful, compassionate book!
Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2023
Tryn Rose Seley breaks the code for how to communicate with those with Alzheimer's in her book, 15 Minutes of Fame. With kindness and compassion, she takes caregivers through the simplest of routines in order to provide peace, connection and comfort with a loved one experiencing dementia. What could be more important than giving someone you love a chance to smile and feel good about themselves? This small book is worth its weight in gold.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't Miss This Book
Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2015
The notion of 15 Minutes of Fame is such a wonderful way of re-framing some basic and primal knowledge about being human - "everyone wants, deserves, and thrives on individual attention and loving."

I give Tryn-Rose two thumbs up on this book. She has recognized some deeply instinctual paths toward healing and wholeness that all people everywhere would do well to re-learn - to use in their lives each and every day. Spend time telling stories and listening to stories. Use pictures to prompt you into remembering things that you would not normally bring to the front of your thinking.

While people with dementia related disease may balk at this at first, if you reach back deeper into their past - older stories and older pictures - you will strike on something that will bring a sense of completeness to their days. Tryn-Rose helps us hear this by carefully reminding us - with her keen care-giver's eye - that we should not belittle or humiliate people for their inability to remember or recall, we should learn instead to press on beyond the initial push-back and look for a new and different focus for the mind and the heart.

The advise given here in this mighty guide helps us to develop a way of relating - here and now - that relies upon and builds among what has at one time been familiar to your loved one. Whether you are a professional care-giver or a family care-giver, the work is the same. Become acquainted with how to tell stories. Become at ease in looking at pictures. When you do this, you will be building solid ground for the person to stand on; and, it will be solid ground with you.

I have not ever given a lecture on caring for the dying or mending amid grief that did not point to and focus on the value of pulling out photo albums and telling tales. First, it helps people to remember that their lives are a lot larger than they remember without those aids. They have been through a lot more than they give themselves credit for - and often this helps them to know they can get though this.

Second, they (flipping through photo albums and telling tales) are two single actions that are capable of uniting the heart and mind for people. Looking at pictures and telling stories (really the same thing - just one is for the eyes and the other is for the ears) are able to allow people to think and to feel at the same time. People tell stories and then laugh, cry, wonder, or revere. One activity can bring us into wholeness. What a GRAND and AWESOME path.

The advise in this books is pragmatic, clear, and organized. Start small and build up, but above all, get up and do what it is you know you are called to do as a fellow human being. Tell stories. Look at pictures. Do it with others, and honor the lives they have lived and continue to live. Give the 15 Minutes Of Fame.

This book is a manual. Don't lay it down. I am going to pass it around to all our staff to read at the hospice. It needs to be seen by anyone working with dying patients - heck, anybody working with anybody in a care setting. It's that vital.
