Author & Speaker
A little about Elmdea…
Elmdea began writing at nine and never stopped. Journals, poetry, short stories, and even procedure manuals (someone had to). A midlife health crisis led her from corporate leadership to a deeper calling as a Past Life Regression Therapist. Her book Liberating Incarnations shares the stories of 24 clients, and her fiction appears in multiple anthologies. She’s still writing, always. Her latest book Moving Forward – The Journey of a Cancer Caregiver is now available to purchase.

Cancer Caregiver Memoir
Moving Forward
Moving Forward is an evocative memoir by Elmdea Adams, capturing the poignant journey of a caregiver navigating the final year of her husband John’s life, as well as her own path through grief. Through a tapestry of journal entries, social media posts, and personal reflections, the narrative offers an unfiltered glimpse into the harsh realities of esophageal cancer, the trials of caregiving, and the enduring power of love and loss.
As John’s health deteriorates, Elmdea’s role shifts from wife to caregiver, a journey marked by exhaustion and profound love. She witnesses John’s final moments, offering him comfort as he dies. The memoir then delves into Elmdea’s experience of widowhood, navigating the fog of grief amidst the isolation of the COVID-19 pandemic. She learns to coexist with her grief, finding moments of connection to John’s spirit and discovering that healing is not linear but an ongoing process.
