Poetry does make for good medicine. My mom had published my Dad's peotry awhile ago and it what an awesome book. My Dad had passed away with A.D. but before he had, he had written poems which actually related to how he was feeling as he fought with A.D.
Music and exercise were the two which he used as a friend in this battle with A.D. You can contact my mum (Donna Taylor) at (902)582-3755 and she would be very greatful to send you a book. The cost is only $12/book but I can certainly tell you, I honestly have not got past the second poem yet. "It is a must" that you read these poems as they will put you into their minds, how their feeling as they and their families fight thought this gut wrenching desease.
