About the Author

Loretta Eidson

Have you ever been to the theatre and sat on the edge of your seat as the intensity of suspense kept you biting your fingernails? How about Taken, Kidnapped, and A Quiet Place?

That’s what I hope you’ll experience in my novels: gripping stories, fast-paced, and full of twists, while my characters discover God’s unconditional love, the freedom of forgiveness, the value of trust, and the power of prayer.

The Thursday Gift of the Ordinary (Extraordinary) -Part 1 – By Cheri Swalwell

Mar 24, 2023 · by Loretta Eidson · In: Uncategorized Tagged: Caregiver, Caregiving, extraordinary moments, Giving

My father-in-law had been in the ICU for three days, unresponsive. His family had surrounded him throughout the days, for as long as we were allowed to be there. To my surprise, when my daughter and I arrived at the beginning of visiting hours on Thursday to take up another silent vigil, he was awake, alert, talking and so happy to see us. We were given the gift of two uninterrupted hours with him, holding his hands, and listening to him as he blessed each of our family members. He would not stop talking and reliving so many special events…

What Hat Do You Wear: Primary Caregiver, Primary Care Manager or Both? by Dr. Ronda Wells

Mar 17, 2023 · by Loretta Eidson · In: Uncategorized Tagged: Caregiving, Caregiving manager

What Hat Do You Wear After fifteen years of caring for four elderly family members, sometimes all at once, I learned the hard way there’s a big difference between caregiving and care-managing. An understanding of what “hat” you wear can be helpful to understand the tasks required, and hopefully to delegate some of those to share the load. Your “hat” also lets you communicate better with professionals involved in your loved one’s life. Most people know what is meant by primary caregiver (PCG)—a person(s) who does repetitive, daily, hands-on care of a loved one that includes: feeding bathing toileting giving…

God Doesn’t Waste a Hurt by Deborah Malone

Mar 10, 2023 · by Loretta Eidson · In: Uncategorized Tagged: Caregiver, Caregiving, Special Needs

Thank you, Loretta, for inviting me to share my experience with caregiving. This is a much-needed topic for those who find themselves in the position of being a caregiver to a loved one. My experience as a caregiver started at a very young age. I can’t remember when I didn’t feel the overwhelming responsibility that comes with being a caregiver. My mother was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis when she was only 12 years old. After being bedridden for a couple of years, she went into remission. Mother was from Cincinnati, Ohio, and my dad was from Opelika, Alabama. Talk about…

Caring for Mom, an Alzheimer’s Patient by Loretta Eidson

Mar 3, 2023 · by Loretta Eidson · In: Uncategorized Tagged: Alzheimer's, Caregivers, Caregiving, Dementia

I had never thought much about Alzheimer’s or dementia until I recognized the symptoms in my mom. Early on, I took her to the doctor about her declining memory. She grew very upset with me for accusing her of not remembering. Though it hurt my feelings that she thought I was being mean to her, I knew in my heart something needed to be done, but I had to wait until she realized the decline herself. A few years later, mom commented her best friend started taking medicine to help her memory, and she wanted to get some. She never…

Critical Threat by Lynette Eason

Feb 28, 2023 · by Loretta Eidson · In: Book Reviews Tagged: Action-packed, Breathtaking, Suspenseful

Critical Threat is a non-stop, action-packed, breathtaking novel. Suspense oozed off the pages and kept my attention. Lynette Eason never ceases to amaze me with the wild rides in her romantic suspense novels. FBI Special Agent Grace Billingsley finds herself in a dangerous predicament when she’s called to take on a murder case. She spots evidence at the crime scene that the killer didn’t intend for her to find. Prison psychiatrist Sam Monroe is invited to the crime scene because it has all the markings of a serial killer. Sam should know the signs because his father was a serial…
