“There are no perimeters to this
illness, no time frame, no reference points, just the knowledge that it
hits everyone differently. Just when you think you've got it all in hand
you suddenly realize there's something else to mourn, there's one more
thing he can't do or express and you are plunged into darkness again …
It was fear of the unknown, and fear of change, that was my greatest enemy.
Information, resources and drawing from the experience of other caregivers
was the answer.” |

–Beverly Murphy, wife,
caregiver and author of He Used To Be Somebody
