An older woman walked up to Epps. Her calm demeanor stood in stark contrast to the hysteria around her. She introduced herself as the grandmother of the victim. “I tried to talk to him. I told him things would end this way,” the woman said to Epps. As it turned out, the victim had been a drug dealer. To Epps, this explained why several men had tried to cross the police tape to get to the vehicle. He managed to stop them. “There could have been something left in the car,” Epps said. “Something they didn’t want the police to see, like money or drugs.”.

As a police chaplain, Epps has to bring a delicate touch to every crime scene he visits, mediating between the police and distraught bystanders, It’s not easy to explain to a family member that they cannot enter a crime scene, “It’s hard to tell a grieving mother she white linen ballet slipper baby girl shoes - christening, baptism shoes - flower girl shoes can’t hold her son’s hand one last time,” Epps said, But gracefully navigating the spiritual and emotional chaos in the wake of someone’s killing is just part of the job, “It’s the chaplain’s job to do a dance between the police, victim’s families and bystanders,” said Michelle Milam, the crime-prevention coordinator at the Richmond Police Department..

Although they aren’t cops, chaplains receive training usually reserved for law enforcement. This training includes evasive driving and firearm practice — in case an officer is injured and they need to step in — radio communications and crime scene evaluation. The Richmond Police Department and the International Conference of Police Chaplains provide the training. The chaplains in Richmond are volunteers. As pastors in their daily lives, they have a sort of rock-solid faith that comes in handy when dealing with people in their toughest times.

“(Police) have to deal with the extreme and the less extreme,” said Don Sutton, 54, a police chaplain in Richmond for 10 years, “We listen white linen ballet slipper baby girl shoes - christening, baptism shoes - flower girl shoes to them, offer them counseling, Police have to deal with a lot, and sometimes they need someone to talk to themselves.”, Epps and Sutton both say being pastors helps them in their role as chaplains, But it’s not easy, Occasionally, the job becomes overwhelming, so the chaplains often work in pairs, Epps recalls a time he was called to assist a younger, less-experienced chaplain, The new chaplain, while visiting a family where the father had died, “became spooked and couldn’t handle it.” A crying girlfriend and distraught children had become too much for the man, Epps arrived and assisted his colleague, and the family..

The routines that once came so naturally — bathing, brushing her teeth, combing her hair and getting dressed for the day ahead — have faded from her 76-year-old mind. Nothing is anchored there anymore, yet bits and pieces of her life still float by. Sometimes she catches one, a recollection about her family, fishing at Clear Lake, or the years on Bethel Island, where she once owned a home and salvaged scrap metal for good money. Maybe she can talk about it to the woman in the next room.

The woman, Loretta Worthy, wakes up every morning and gently leads her forgetful mother through the paces of another day, She cannot white linen ballet slipper baby girl shoes - christening, baptism shoes - flower girl shoes do it alone, “It takes a village to raise a child,” said the 56-year-old mother of four grown sons, “But taking care of someone with Alzheimer’s takes more than a village.”, Worthy’s salvation is the Alzheimer’s Activity Center in San Jose, tucked into a plain one-story building behind the Santa Clara Valley Medical Center, Each week, on her way to her office job at the San Jose Fire Department, Worthy drops her mother off for the day, There, trained staff help Woods and dozens of other women and men with varying degrees of memory loss stay engaged, at about 1/3 the annual cost of a Medi-Cal patient in a nursing home..

But it’s still expensive — at least $1,100 a month, though Worthy and her husband, a facilities worker at a South Bay shopping mall, have received some financial assistance from the regional chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association, an international nonprofit that focuses on Alzheimers’ care, support and research. Through grants, the activity center also has helped Worthy by paying for one day a week of her mother’s care for several months this year. The Centers for Disease Control lists Alzheimer’s as the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States. Of the 5.2 million Americans afflicted with the disease, almost two-thirds are women and 60 percent of their caregivers are women, according to the Alzheimer’s Association.

Like many relatives of white linen ballet slipper baby girl shoes - christening, baptism shoes - flower girl shoes other clients, Worthy relies on the center, While her mother is there, she can work to pay for her mother’s day care, and even have some time to herself on Saturdays, though funding for that extra day may end soon, Over the years, as her mother’s dementia worsened and arrangements to care for her at home became unaffordable, Worthy found herself at wit’s end, “I had no idea what I was going to do, I thought I was going to have to quit my job” she recalled, “You just have no clue how you will be able to work all this out, and when it comes, it comes hard and heavy.”..
