The word is getting around about The Sea is Wide: A Memoir of Caregiving. Here is what people–healthcare workers and caregivers–have said about this book:
“It is a must-read for those taking care of loved ones suffering from Alzheimer’s and for those in the medical and nursing profession. I will definitely recommend this book to my patients and nursing students.” – Louise O’Keefe, PhD, CRNP.

“I would recommend this story to anyone, and not only to those touched by Alzheimer’s. The Sea is Wide is an incredibly enlightening and informative read.” – Christina Reap, LPN
“An honest look at what daily care looks like through the eyes of a loving care-giver. I laughed, I cried, but most of all, I observed how it is possible to care for a loved one through the very bad days that are inevitable while also being grateful for every respite. […] I want to thank you for showing me that beyond all the heartache this can be a journey of love and dignity.” – Cynthia Phillips, Caregiver
“A real insight into the depth, love and reality of a caregiver and a victim of Alzheimer’s.” – Debbie Rombach, RN
“I laughed and cried my way through […] it echoed things I went through with my mother and her dementia.
“I think your book is important for many reasons. It indicates to anyone thinking of taking care of an Alzheimer’s patient at home that it is an all-consuming, 24/7 job and that it requires monumental patience and additional support. That being said, the book also teaches allowing the victims of Alzheimer’s as much dignity and independence as possible at each stage keeps him from being less than the person he is capable of being and even triggers joyful moments.
“Alzheimer’s is ultimately a death sentence. Like life, however, it’s not the destination that should be the focus, it’s the journey—like the journey you recounted in The Sea is Wide.” – Alice Janick, Caregiver
“The Sea is Wide gives healthcare professionals an inside look at the struggles that families of those effected by Alzheimer’s face on a daily basis” – Nicole Wayman, LPN
