Publications From the Heart of CAREOSITY

WHAT IF THE PERSON YOU LOVE ISN'T "GONE," BUT JUST NAVIGATING A FOG?

For generations, we’ve been given a map of dementia that focuses on loss—a "broken brain" model that tells us what's gone, but not what remains.

This book offers a revolutionary new map.

Drawing on his years of front-line care experience, Jeremy introduces Mental Landmarks, a powerful, human-first framework. He reveals that the baffling moments of clarity we see—like "showtiming" for a doctor—are not an act, but a profound act of navigation. Our loved ones are latching onto lighthouses in the fog.

This book is your guide to becoming a "lighthouse keeper." You will learn:

• The 4 Types of Landmarks: People (the heart remembers), Places (the comfort of a chair), Passions (the hands remember), and Senses (the power of a song).
• The "Detective of Joy" Method: How to spot the landmarks that anchor your loved one to their identity.
• The "Lighthouse Plan": Proactive, simple strategies to reduce agitation and build a bridge of comfort.
• The "Unspoken Chapters": How to navigate your own grief, "ambiguous loss," and burnout with radical self-compassion.

Mental Landmarks is the hopeful, practical guide you’ve been waiting for. It’s a call to stop correcting and start connecting, and to find the person who is still, and always, here.

   Caregiving is often spoken of as an act of love. But few talk about what it does to the ones who give it.

   In The Weight of Gentle Hands, Jeremy Watkins invites readers into the unseen world of caregiving—the quiet rooms, the long nights, and the small mercies that hold families together when life begins to change. Drawn from years of witnessing the tender, complex work of caregivers and families, this book looks beyond routines and responsibilities to reveal the inner life of care itself: the fear beneath compassion, the loneliness of those who keep others steady, and the quiet holiness found in ordinary acts of love. Told with warmth and unflinching honesty, it is not a guidebook, but a mirror—for anyone who has ever carried another person’s weight while trying to keep hold of their own. The Weight of Gentle Hands is a love letter to those who show up when it matters most—and to the beauty of staying soft in a world that too often forgets how.

   Leadership in care isn’t just about strategy — it’s about heart. It’s about holding space for others while quietly learning how to hold yourself together. The Unspoken Work of Care Leadership pulls back the curtain on the emotional, spiritual, and human weight of leading in a world built on compassion. From the exhaustion that hides behind endurance to the grief that accumulates quietly over time, Jeremy S. Watkins offers a rare, honest look at what it really takes to stay soft in hard places.

   Through deeply personal reflections and years of frontline experience, Watkins explores the unseen labor that every care leader carries — and the sacred strength that comes from naming it.

This book is not a manual. It’s a mirror.

   For every owner, director, or caregiver who has ever asked, “Who takes care of the one who takes care of everyone else?” — this is your answer.

Because real leadership isn’t about being unshakable.

It’s about being real. Still here. Still human. Still caring.
