I appreciate the thought that I could help, but in this case I don’t think so. I learned to type in high school and it was a great gift. I still type without looking at the keyboard and find it so much faster than handwriting of course. But I really don’t can’t think of what might help. I truly think the offer of transcribing his writing is the answer. Perhaps you could remind him that his words and wisdom are of the utmost importance and what his readers want ‘more of’. I know there are many many writers who never used keyboards, but preferred to handwrite their works and let someone else transcribe it . I would suggest going on-line and searching that question, I’m certain there are many many successful writers who handwrite their pieces. And then let someone else transcribe them. There is also the use of recording his words, which might comfort him to know they will be transcribed exactly, and or, saved. And of course it is important to assure him his words/writings are so worth being ‘heard’ by others, especially those who are afflicted. Tell him I would love to read of someone else’s journey, both to learn and to comfort me.
You can respond with your thoughts, questions, ideas. I would love to know how things are working out.
