Elizabeth’s Debut Book

Too Bad About That-coming February 2027

No one wakes up thinking, Today, I'll become a caregiver.

It doesn't happen all at once. It begins with forgotten appointments, repeated stories, and small moments that are easy to explain away, until one day you realize life has quietly become divided into two chapters: before Alzheimer's...and after.

In Too Bad About That, Elizabeth Humphreys shares the unforgettable story of caring for her mother through a thirteen-year journey with early-onset Alzheimer's disease. With honesty, humor, and extraordinary heart, she explores the realities of caregiving, anticipatory grief, family dynamics, identity, and the quiet loneliness that so often accompanies loving someone who is slowly disappearing.

Part love letter, part survival guide, and part Southern tragicomedy, Too Bad About That reminds us that even in the midst of heartbreak, there can be laughter, connection, and unexpected hope. Through deeply personal stories, from forgotten Christmas traditions and impossible family recipes to the everyday moments that forever changed her, Elizabeth invites readers into the messy, beautiful work of showing up for the people we love while learning not to lose ourselves in the process.

For caregivers, daughters, families, and anyone who has ever loved someone through loss, Too Bad About That is a reminder that while Alzheimer's may steal memories, it cannot erase love, and that sometimes the people we care for most end up teaching us how to live.
