My first International Bestseller (non-fiction) is now available as a personalized & signed paperback right here, shipped to you, directly from me.

I wrote this book after ushering my mom, Rosemary A. Hakim, aka RahRah, out of this physical realm, with my sister Nicole also by her side. My mom’s two “bookends”, eldest and youngest daughters.

This is a book I wish no one needed, and yet, it would have come in handy for me at the time my mom was diagnosed with stage IIIC ovarian cancer in 2011.

If you are now or have ever been a family caregiver, or have yet to be (statistically, you may have your “turn” coming up), I encourage you to grab a copy of this book and if I have made your caregiving journey just a tiny bit lighter, my labor of love is worth it.

I’ve included support in many forms in this book, not the least of which is providing ideas, systems, structures for the daily roller coaster that being thrust into the role of family caregiver brings.

I am with you.

Sample of reviews:

Some journeys we embark upon with excited anticipation; some are forced upon us. Lynn Abate Johnson’s “Out of Love” is the story of her family’s 6 year journey through the illness and subsequent death of the family matriarch, their beloved Rah-Rah. She writes with compassion, wisdom and humor as her family struggles to find a way forward in their battle with an implacable enemy, ovarian cancer. She shares with us her personal discoveries, her anger and grief as well as her pragmatic strategies in caring for her mother. I was honored to share this journey with Lynn and her family. This book is a loving tribute to an amazing woman and the family she nurtured. ~ Susan R., Caregiver, Avid Reader, Retired Educator

In this heartfelt book, Lynn Abate-Johnson tells the bittersweet true experience of her mother’s cancer passage. By using this book as a guide to better navigate the cancer experience with your own loved ones, you can gain insight and reassurance about the entire cancer experience. The author gives tips on the journey through medications, chemotherapy, diet, and hospital treatments. Most importantly, this book can inspire you on your own emotional journey as a caregiver and teach you how to better cope. Well worth the read. ~ Shawna C., Author

Lynn Abate-Johnson’s book, Out of Love, is a must-read for any person who is a care provider or may someday be thrust into the role of caring for a loved one or friend diagnosed with a prolonged illness.

I appreciated Lynn’s priceless daily notes, shared in her book.  She does not prescribe what to do or not do. Instead, Lynn shares vignettes about what worked and what did not work for her, her mother and family, in a very transparent manner. Lynn invites us, in a clever way, to start processing issues that she, her mother, and family faced during (and after) their journey together.

As a Hospice/Palliative Care Chaplain for 30+ years, I highly recommend this book, as I believe readers will feel supported and connected, especially when put in a position where they have to make tough choices . . . Out of Love.  You will want to keep this book in your library for future reference. ~ Steven R., Hospice/Palliative Care Chaplain

To be sympathetic, attentive, effective and useful and to grow and not shrink or shirk under the weight of this holy responsibility is one of life’s most important lessons (and gifts).  I am sure that others who find themselves taking care of a dying loved one will find inspiration, strength and solace in reading it. ~ Karen Y., Lifestyle Transition Coach
