For many, “Mother's Day” is filled with laughter, flowers, and cherished traditions. But for those facing the heartbreaking reality of Alzheimer's disease, the day takes on a different meaning—one of faded memories, shifting roles, and profound reflection. In her moving Kindle release, “Mother's Day: A Faded Memory,” Georgia-based author Candice Shipley opens her heart to share a deeply personal story that resonates with countless families.
Shipley's story begins with an unshakable truth: “Alzheimer's happens to other people, not your family”—until it does. What starts as subtle changes in her beloved mother soon transforms into a life-altering journey. With raw honesty, she captures the confusion, fear, and unexpected resilience that emerge when you suddenly become both caregiver and child, navigating a world where the questions often feel bigger than the answers.
Drawing from her own experiences, Shipley invites readers into the tender, painful, yet hopeful space of caring for a parent who is slowly slipping away. It is more than a memoir—it is a testimony to the strength of family bonds, the grace found in faith, and the power of love to endure even in the midst of fading memories.
Candice's own life story enriches her narrative. From leaving a successful career at Jim Ellis Porsche and Audi of Atlanta to returning home to care for her mother, and later finding healing through writing and poetry, Shipley's journey is one of sacrifice, resilience, and rediscovery. Now retired and living on a working farm in Covington, GA, with her husband Phil, she channels her life experiences into stories meant to bring comfort and courage to others.
“Mother's Day: A Faded Memory” is more than a book—it's a companion for those walking the difficult road of Alzheimer's caregiving, and a reminder that even in the hardest seasons, we are never truly alone.
The book is now available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, and through more than two thousand partner vendors nationwide.
