Marianne Goodrich

“I couldn’t put this book down. In one evening I entered a memoir full of great tenderness and joy and pain. It was such a brave journey to write this book after an equally brave journey through love and caregiving and loss. In the final chapters, the positivity and sharing of lessons learned is a generous gift to those who are walking the same path.”

“I was just going to scan your book before dinner. Cathy, I couldn’t put it down! I knew a lot already but there was so much more that I didn’t know. I had to tell you directly; an email or text just wouldn’t do. I recommend your book. Cathy, I think there is something of value for all who see it and pick it up just for a quick look and like me can’t put it down until I have read it all.”

Moria Gardener:

“Loved Cathy’s book, Please Don’t Give Me Something More to Worry About … Her approach to grief is both honest and encouraging. Her use of the hero’s journey drew me in. I was pulled along through meeting the dragon, and encouraged as I encountered wizards along the way. Cathy affirms us all by her acknowledgment. We are not alone in our grief journey. My favorite chapter was chapter 11 “I Had a Dream”. My favourite line: “I never thought The Wall could simply disintegrate. That is what counselling helps us do.” The book is a well written resource for all of us, as we all grieve at some point.”
