What’s The Most Meaningful Gift Your Mom Gave You?
Thirty-One Women on the Gifts That Mattered Most
Mother’s Day is this Sunday. While some people are racking their brains to think of the perfect way to show their love and appreciation for Mom, a group of distinguished women recently flipped that script and wrote about the most profound gift their own moms gave to them. Their essays are collected in the new book What My Mother Gave Me: Thirty-One Women on the Gifts That Mattered Most.

Conversations with Ed
Waiting for Forgetfulness: Why are we so Afraid of Alzheimer’s Disease
by Ed Voris, Nader Shabahangi, and Patrick Fox, in collaboration with Sharon Mercer
Elders Academy Press, 2009
How can we not be afraid of Alzheimer’s Disease? How can we not dread aging? by posing these questions we are invited alternate ways of seeing Alzheimer’s disease as well as aging. In so doing we do not want to minimize the suffering that people may experience watching a loved one become forgetful. Nor do we want to minimize that becoming forgetful and growing old can be pain processes. Rather, Conversations with Ed wants to create a positive cultural space for people with dementia, for those who accompany them on their journey and for those who fear being afflicted with it.

At Shikshantar, we are trying to support the shift from a money-dominant globalized culture to a more small-scale, relationship-focused culture.

We spend time and money to feed, house, and clothe our frail, elderly, and disabled, but their imaginations are relegated to watching television or their view from a window.
