Mindful of You
A Mother's Memoir of Love, Loss, and Hope
by
Nancy Morgan Mumford
After growing up a happy and carefree child, Paul Mumford found himself totally unprepared for what began happening to him at age twenty-three. This is the compelling, true story of his unpredictable downward spiral into bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Presented through the eyes of his mother, this work explores with extraordinary honesty and care the harrowing journey her son faced as he struggled with progressing symptoms ranging from manic rage to full-blown psychosis. It brings into the light the often-untold truth about what mental illness really looks like for the afflicted person and his family. Despite the eventual loss of her son to schizophrenia, the author offers the reader hope as she navigates her way through her first five years of grief with resolve, relying on practical self-help tools and her steadfast faith. "Mindful of You" is a must read for anyone whose life has been touched by mental illness, suicide, loss, grief, or hopelessness.
Nancy Mumford is a lifelong writer and first-time author. Over the years, she has regularly turned to journaling as a means to center herself and help manage the ebb and flow of daily life as she raised her three sons and worked as a radiologic technologist. Together with Kenny, her husband of nearly fifty years, she has been active in church ministry throughout her adult life, serving in a wide range of leadership roles. Nancy's personal experience of faith, as well as her unwavering love and dedication to her son and family make her uniquely prepared to tell this gripping story of love, loss, and hope.
