Glimpses: My Wife's Journey Through Dementia and Alzheimer's

By: Burchell, John E.

What happens when the love of your life begins to forget-but love itself never fades?

In GLIMPSES, pastor and caregiver John Burchell shares a deeply moving true story of marriage, faith, and devotion as he walks beside his wife, Sally, through dementia and Alzheimer's. Spanning more than fifty years of shared life and the heartbreaking years of caregiving, this Christian memoir offers comfort, clarity, and hope to anyone facing the long goodbye of memory loss.

More than a story about disease, GLIMPSES is a testimony to enduring love, sacrificial caregiving, and the sustaining power of faith when answers are few and grief feels overwhelming. As Sally's memory fades, moments of recognition, humor, and spiritual clarity-glimpses of who she has always been-continue to shine through, reminding readers that a person is more than their diagnosis.
