Review Quotes

"With firm yet compassionate words, author Cecil Murphey comes alongside caregivers to offer empathy, understanding, and advice borne of experience. When Someone You Love No Longer Remembers presents a treasure chest of caregiver wisdom. Tender illustrations, true stories, and real-life examples end in the aphorisms that have become Murphey's trademark."
--Marti Pieper, author

"When Someone You Love No Longer Remembers hits the need for comfort that every caregiver needs. Having cared for my elderly mom for over eight years, and a daughter with a mental illness at the same time, I know first-hand that exhaustion, loneliness, and depression are very real enemies for caregivers. Cecil's new book is a cup of cold water to the weary."
--Virelle Kidder

"Once again, Cecil Murphey has created a beautiful gift book entitled When Someone You Love No Longer Remembers. His brief stories, prayers, practical advice, and encouragement for caregivers would be a comforting gift book for those who are taking care of loved ones who can no longer remember. The book is also beautifully illustrated. I recommend this book to caregivers."
--Dr. Carolyn Driver, professor, Beulah Heights University

"You will be hard pressed to make it through the two dozen vignettes in this book without tears forming in your eyes. Those who have walked this difficult road will recognize themselves and find comfort as they learn from others' struggles. Those who haven't are likely to find compassion welling up in their hearts for people walking through this valley. Cecil Murphey is a best-selling author because of his sensitivity, creativity, and teacher-heart. When Someone You Love No Longer Cares will strengthen his reputation as a master of storytelling and instruction."
