Too Bad About That

“Liz fiercely and lovingly holds your hand through the challenging terrain that so many caregivers face. Through her own grief, she unapologetically shares wisdom with raw honesty and her signature wit. Reading this book is what it feels like to have Liz in your corner. She isn’t just handing you a life raft; she offers up something far better: she leaves you feeling less alone. Not to mention, only Liz can write about both Alzheimer’s and rectal rockets in one convenient book.” – Desi Lydic, actor, writer, caregiver
“Honest, compelling, and a story I’ve yet to see told with such clarity. In Too Bad About That, Elizabeth Humphreys captures the messy, heartbreaking, and sometimes absurd realities of caregiving with extraordinary candor and humor. She gives voice to the women who spend so much of their lives caring for others, often at the expense of themselves. This is a story that needed to be told.” – Dr. Sharon Malone, New York Times bestselling author of Grown Woman Talk

Elizabeth Humphreys is a writer, speaker, and the founder and executive director of Mind What Matters, a national nonprofit dedicated to supporting family caregivers through respite grants and mental health resources. After spending thirteen years caring for her mother through Alzheimer’s disease, Elizabeth transformed her experience into a mission to help others facing the impossible demands of caregiving. Through her nonprofit, speaking engagements, and podcast, she has supported hundreds of caregivers across more than forty states while advocating for greater recognition of the emotional and mental health toll of caregiving.

A Louisiana native turned New England transplant, she brings a distinctive voice that blends southern storytelling warmth with a northeastern no-nonsense edge. Her work is grounded not in academic theory but in lived experience. In Too Bad About That, Elizabeth combines raw honesty, sharp humor, and hard-won wisdom to tell the story of one family’s journey through Alzheimer’s—and, in doing so, gives voice to the millions of caregivers quietly carrying more than anyone can see.
