I am taking care of my husband who has vascular dementia with problems in memory cognition, just like AD.

I totally understand your struggle in caring for Jane.
I appreciate your insight you provided in the book,
especially your self-reflection on a carer's needs and rights.

I am inspired to learn ways to CARE FOR THE CARER.

I have just finished your memoir - a prayer for that part of you which has departed. I felt your warmth and caring throughout and your tenderness towards Jane as well.

It is truly a sharing of an experience and your love.

Wonderful job.

This is a story we all need, of how to live well,
how to love with decency, humor, humility and passion,
and how to find enough in the world to keep us in it,
hungry for more even when we lose someone we love.

This is a deeply humane book that will stay with me.

Through your so beautifully written book, I have walked alongside you, with you in your world (my world).

As I felt my life was slowly sinking into a dark, deep pit, your book gave me the hand of hope and love which helped me to see there could be life and peace in going forward.

In this brilliant memoir, Camhi describes a hard lesson he learned - that he needed to care not only for his demented wife, but also for himself.

Required reading for anyone providing long-term care of a loved one.

I couldn't put the book down.
Every time I had to leave it, I couldn't wait to get back to the next chapter...

The book is so well written and moving.
Your description of Jane brought me to tears.
