When Someone You Love Suffers From Mental IllnessNovember 3, 2008 This is a VERY helpful little book... I read one each night before bed and it helps me remember to have patience, hope, courage and not give up on my loved one - or myself as I help him.
Refreshingly Sensitive and RealJanuary 2, 2007 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This book goes to places in the heart where other resources have not dared to go. The short but packed readings shed light on the real feelings and often unstated questions of those of us who love and care for someone who struggles with depression or mental illness. I don't have to be afraid of my questions or feelings or my own need for support and encouragement. I can face the uncertainties of depression in my loved one with hope. And with God. This is a book that will be a resource I'll keep close at hand and one which I will recommend and give as a gift many times over.
Grasping Mental Illness and DepressionDecember 28, 2006 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Murphey has been successful in grasping many of the different aspects of mental illness and depression in this easy-to-read daily encouragement book. Included in the daily hope are helpful hints and suggestions to enable caregivers. Many of the suggestions could be keys to opening up the minds and souls of the ones needing help due to depression or a mental illness. The book would make a great gift to those who are struggling with the everyday tasks of caring for depressed or mentally ill patients.
Blessed EncouragementDecember 23, 2006 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Cecil Murphey has stayed true to his word -- encouragement. Depression and Mental Illness are mysteries that often leave not only the patients, but the caregivers frustrated and lost. This book addresses honest feelings and gives comfort that the feelings we have are often shared with others.
The prayers offer assurance that we are not alone in this journey. Suggestions and experiences offer help and guidance. The list of support groups and resource materials are also quite beneficial.
A blessed treasure to return to often.... and a wonderful gift to share.
Long Overdue! Addresses Issues not Addressed by Other Books.December 18, 2006 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
When you have a loved one with depression or mental illness all of your attention is focused on them. We easily forget about ourselves. If we do not nurture our own selves, our ability to help our loved ones is deeply affected.
This book and all the books in this series are extremely insightful and will help those who care for someone with depression or mental illness. If your loved one also suffers from Alzheimer's or Addiction we highly recommend Cecil Murphey's other books dealing with these topics.
