#FindingTheRightWords turns 2 today. Here I am w/my co-author #Dr.BruceMiller, a #doctor whose #empathy, #knowledge, and #generosity knows no bounds. That my father died of #early-onset #Alzheimer's couldn't be changed, but writing the #memoir w/ Bruce changed me, helping to put that experience of profound fragmentation (my father's; mine) into something a little more whole. W/so much gratitude to Bruce and the many #neurologists working to #EndAlz always and esp. during #worldalzheimersmonth

Dear reader, how sorry I am about your father's sudden death. Devastating. I'm glad, though, that despite our very different experiences of a beloved father's death, #FindingtheRightWords spoke to you. #EndAlz, #NarrativeMedicine, #neurology, #dementia, #grief.

The #memoir is about my father's early-onset #Alzheimer's, which I wrote with #neurologist Dr. Bruce Miller.

#BruceMiller and I wrote #FindingtheRightWords for people with #dementia, their #caregivers, their loved ones, their #nurses and #doctors, including #neurologists, #geriatricians, and #psychiatrists. #narrative medicine cannot cure #Alzheimer's, but the power of #empathy, intense #listening, and #storytelling can help immensely. We are so grateful this reader thinks our book is helpful, even beautiful.💜

Valuable memoir

Excellent and thoughtful. The interdisciplinary elements, including the combination of neurology background, literature, and personal reflection, add to the narrative; would recommend to those who are caring for a loved one with dementia. Sparks meaningful conversation and reflection.

#DashaKiper writes about #dementia and #caregiving and identifying with the narrator of #Melville's #Bartleby. In #FindingtheRightWords, I write about identifying with Bartleby in that for a very, very long time, I preferred not to look at my father's #Alzheimer's. My dear friend, co-author, #neurologist, and empath #Dr.BruceMiller helped me look. He looked with me. My father died many years ago, but it remains extraordinarily hard and painful to look. https://lithub.com/what-melvilles-bartleby-the-scrivener-tells-us-about-memory-loss/ #EndAlz
