About
Find Joy, No Regrets: Cultivating Peace and Ease Through Choice is more than a memoir-it's an intimate, hope-filled journey through grief, healing, love, and self-discovery. In this deeply personal and uplifting follow-up to Oh Hello, Alzheimer's, Lisa Marshall invites readers into the "after"-what life looked like once the caretaking ended and the silence of loss settled in. With warmth, vulnerability, and unexpected humor, she shares how she moved forward-not by erasing the past, but by honoring it while slowly, courageously choosing joy. From the heartbreak of losing her husband to early-onset Alzheimer's to the vulnerable, messy, and often hilarious world of dating in midlife, Lisa reveals what it means to heal in real time. She revisits old childhood wounds from bullying and an emotionally abusive relationship, navigates the tender process of grief, and models what it looks like to bloom after devastation, not in spite of pain, but because of it. Her stories are raw and relatable, grounded in the quiet power of radical acceptance, and carried by a deep trust in life's unfolding. Along the way, Lisa falls unexpectedly in love again-with Jonathan, a man whose life appeared quite different from hers, but whose soul matched hers in all the right ways. Their love grows gently and naturally as they blend their homes, families, and rhythms. Through shared laughter, deep respect, and mutual admiration, and the space to remain independent individuals, they create something beautifully new, while still honoring the life and love she shared with Peter. With Jonathan's understanding and steady support, Lisa brings Peter's memory into their shared space with reverence, not regret. Written with honesty and heart, Find Joy, No Regrets offers comfort to anyone walking through grief, reinvention, or the quiet ache of wondering if it's too late to feel whole again. Lisa doesn't offer clichés or quick fixes. Instead, she shares what worked for her: choosing peace over pressure, presence over perfection, and curiosity over fear. Each chapter is a blend of raw storytelling, gentle wisdom, and tangible mindset shifts. You'll find encouragement to embrace radical acceptance, honor your emotional wounds, and grow through them, not in spite of them, but because of them. Her words serve as a gentle guide, reminding readers that healing is not linear, love is not either/or, and joy is always available-especially when you give yourself permission to live with intention. If you've ever wondered whether it's possible to start over, to find love after heartbreak, or to create a meaningful life from the pieces left behind, this book is for you. Through story, reflection, and an unwavering belief in the human spirit, Find Joy, No Regrets shows us how to soften, open, and begin again-with grace, humor, and no regrets.
