KIRKUS REVIEWS
“Almost a year prior to his death in April 2016, Cohen’s father had a miraculous ‘brief awakening from his condition’ during which he became his old self for a time. This volume, effectively a love letter to the author’s deceased father, emphasizes the role that Herbie played as the ‘hero’ of Cohen’s life. “A poignant farewell from a son to his father.”
MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW
“Cohen’s journey embraces a heartfelt emotional experience that frames ‘awakening’ in a new manner. This will prove surprisingly uplifting and positive in a manner that adds extra dimensions of possibility and understanding to the dementia experience. [A] warm-hearted story of a father and son’s lifelong shared connections.” MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW
AMAZON CUSTOMER -Invaluable Resource for Caregivers/Inspiring Story for Everyone - Amazon 5 STARS
"Dan Cohen’s Awakenings in Real Life is a must read. It is about a loving son’s coming to terms with his father’s illness and, in doing so, he has created a guide to help others look at their own lives, loss, and potential loss. It is not one of those books you will forget about after reading, and you won’t put it away either—it will be a reference for you, a guide that you will continue to go back to when you are facing small and large struggles.”
CHAD ROSCOE - A Must for Caregivers & A Good Gift for Them Too -Amazon 5 STARS
“This book is a lovely way to decompress from caregiving. Cohen's book is full of stories of remembrance about his father, which spark my memories about my parents and my siblings. It's not too long of a book, and I think most people who have lost someone close to them, or are currently caregiving for someone close to them, will really appreciate this as a gift. I certainly did.

“I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Having suffered 10 years with seeing my wife Judy decline from early onset dementia I can relate to the ups and downs of the journey. I would have loved the opportunity of her ‘awakening’"
