Walk Her Up the Stairs: A Caregiver's Healing & Spiritual Journey
Order now:
When her mother received a terminal hospice diagnosis just two weeks before they planned to move into a new house together, far from their familiar surroundings, Loretta Fox had no idea what was ahead. The journey is both painful and humorous as this frustrated and weary adult daughter takes on around-the-clock care of a sweet but difficult mother, while also adjusting to an out-of-state move and setting up a new home that will accommodate everyone… and their baggage.

Built around the poetry written while caring for her dying mother, Walk Her Up the Stairs gives voice to the often unspoken feelings that trouble many caregivers. This strikingly honest and poignant memoir reflects on how this mother-daughter pair found common ground in their often tense relationship.
The caregiving experience leads to the unexpected new skill of Spirit Mediumship, which was found to be a source of extraordinary healing. The exploration of Spirit Mediumship is shared through easily understood descriptions, and this memoir includes the basics of both receiving and giving Spirit Readings.

As a former hospice worker with a master’s degree in Religious Studies, and as a practicing Spirit Medium, Loretta Fox brings details and authenticity to this story that will inspire other caregivers, console those who are grieving, appeal to anyone fascinated by Spirit Mediumship, and entertain anyone who has been in a challenging mother-child relationship.
