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.
This book gently weaves together:

• A husband's firsthand account of Alzheimer's progression
• Honest reflections on caregiving, hospice, and end-of-life decisions
• Biblical encouragement and Christian faith throughout
• Practical insight and emotional support for caregivers and families
• A powerful message of hope beyond loss and grief

Written with tenderness, transparency, and pastoral wisdom, GLIMPSES speaks directly to:- Spouses and family members caring for someone with dementia or Alzheimer's

• Christians seeking faith-centered encouragement during illness or grief
• Readers of spiritual memoirs and caregiving narratives
• Anyone navigating love, loss, and the sacredness of life's final chapters

Whether you are currently caring for a loved one, grieving a loss, or preparing for a journey you never expected to take, GLIMPSES offers companionship, understanding, and reassurance that you are not alone-and that love, rooted in faith, endures even when memory does not.

A heartfelt Christian memoir about marriage, caregiving, Alzheimer's, dementia, hospice, grief, and hope.
