It's World #Alzheimer's Month. To all those people with #dementia, I am sending my support, love, and strength. And to the #caregivers (primary, secondary, tertiary et al), the same. 💜

We are coming to the end of National Family #Caregivers Month. I am posting this photo in honor of my mother, Tzip, who gave everything she had to my father, Jerry, as he was dying from early-onset #Alzheimer's. It was the 80s-90s &I don't recall #caregiving as something anyone was thinking about. Many thanks to #RosalynnCarter's foundation & #SethRogen &#LaurenMillerRogen's #HFC (& many more). They are heroes. How I wish my mother & our family had access to these support networks.

This Wednesday at 11 PT, I'll be leading over Zoom "Keeping Each Other Company," a monthly #grief support group established by HFC, the #Alzheimer's foundation w/a focus on
#caregivers, created by #LaurenMillerRogen & #SethRogen. Many other support groups are available, as well. Here is a google doc that you should fill out if you want and/or need some company: -
Me w/Dr. Matthew Lefferman, a kind dr. He specializes in #geriatrics & goes to the places where his expertise is needed. Here we are @ the Kensington Redondo (he's holding my book, Finding the Right Words: A Story of Literature, Grief, and the Brain), where we watched "Taking Care," a beautiful film honoring Adele Miller, mother to Lauren Miller Rogen & mother-in-law to Seth Rogen. Their foundation, HFC, supports #caregivers of people with #dementia.

#HFCCareCon2025 is this Friday, 12-3 pm PT; 3-6pm ET. It's going to be helpful, thoughtful, authentic, & even funny (at times). I am honored to be on the panel, "End of Life but not the End of Love." I am also so grateful to #LaurenMillerRogen and #SethRogen for sharing their story (watch their documentary about Lauren's mother, Adele, #TakingCare) & using their power to help #caregivers & to educate the public about the facts of #dementia. The event is free.

#SethRogen and #LaurenMillerRogen have made a documentary about and in honor of Lauren's mother, who died of early-onset #Alzheimer's. There will be 2 screenings tomorrow, January 29. One at 2 pm and 5 pm. I will be at the first one sharing my thoughts about the film (which I haven't yet seen). If you are in the Redondo Beach area and can come to the Kensington senior community, please do. The work they have done for #caregivers through their foundation, #HFC (Hilarity for Charity) is essential.

The #UnitedStates of #Aunties: The #culture #powering #VicePresident #KamalaHarris' #campaign
In the #Black and #SouthAsian #communities Harris hails from, being an “#auntie” is an #honorific for #caregivers, #communitybuilders — and maybe even the next #president
