Glenda Rueger Payne debuts with ‘Nothing Left but Love’
New self-help memoir inspires healing after hurt, love after loss
MCMINNVILLE, Ore. — Glenda Rueger Payne echoes the lessons of her own healing journey after the death of her mother in her debut book release, “Nothing Left but Love” (published by Balboa Press). Offered to anyone facing this delicate caregiving situation, her chronicle inspires personal growth, forgiveness and love.
“Caretaking my mom with Alzheimer’s through the end of her life, while stressful, was also one of the most powerfully healing experiences of my life. I wanted to share the insights I gained from this journey,” Payne says.
“Nothing Left but Love” is a heartfelt, powerful book full of insight for anyone faced with caregiving a loved one with Alzheimer’s through to their death. Most importantly, it reveals the path to forgiveness and healing in the family dynamic. Payne says, “Death can become the great peacemaker when people allow for that possibility.”
“The book shares practical tools readers can use to heal past wounds, allowing a deep experience of forgiveness, love and connection as their loved ones prepare to depart this world. It reveals what to expect and how to cope,” Payne adds. “This difficult topic is interspersed with pure humor and insight into the miraculous moments my sisters and I witnessed.”
A self-help, spiritual memoir bringing caregiving, Alzheimer’s and death out of the shadows, “Nothing Left but Love” offers insight into these difficult life circumstances with a refreshingly honest, insightful and humorous approach.

Riverton assistant professor undergoing intensive disaster training
Training prepares local NDMS member to help during national emergencies
To best prepare to respond to a mass-casualty incident, a local assistant professor, Jeff Zealley, from Riverton, Utah, is participating in unique National Disaster Medical System (NDMS) training at the nation’s premier, all-hazards training facility in Alabama from June 5-10. Mr. Zealley is an assistant professor in the Mortuary Science Program at Salt Lake Community College in Salt Lake City, and serves as a member of an NDMS Disaster Mortuary Operational Response Team (DMORT).
The NDMS is a federally administered program that can support communities with medical care and mortuary assistance during disasters or public health emergencies, and is among the resources made available by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR).
NDMS teams consist of physicians, nurses, veterinary staff, paramedics, fatality management professionals, and experienced command and control staff. When an emergency overwhelms local and state resources, ASPR looks to the expertise within NDMS teams from across the country to assist in the response. The most realistic training NDMS teams can receive to prepare for this vital mission is at the Center for Domestic Preparedness operated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency in Anniston, Alabama.
There are 78 NDMS members from Utah.
“NDMS supports communities with medical or veterinary care or mortuary operations after disasters,” said Ron Miller, acting director of ASPR’s NDMS. “The intense, realistic training teams receive at this facility serves our nation and local communities well when NDMS is called upon to assist after a disaster strikes.”
During the DMORT training, team members drill on gathering as much information as possible to help identify individuals, as they would during actual incidents. DMORT members operate forensic pathology, anthropology, fingerprinting, DNA and dental stations in temporary morgues during disaster responses.
Approximately 5,000 medical, public health, and emergency management professionals comprise the NDMS, organized into approximately 70 types of response teams. Although they hail from communities nationwide, they are Federal government employees who are part of a coordinated federal response.
ASPR leads the nation in preventing, preparing for, and responding to the adverse health effects of public health emergencies and disasters. It focuses on preparedness planning and response; building Federal emergency medical operational capabilities; countermeasures research, advance development, and procurement; and grants to strengthen the capabilities of hospitals and health care systems in public health emergencies and medical disasters.
