Read the quoted toot below 👇🏻 and start to come to terms with the fact you, too, will become disabled at some point in time. If only, it will happen faster than you can ever imagine, accelerating the pace day in day out.
Oooh, and in case you're wondering, switch disabled for immigrant and apply the same. We're all bound to become disabled immigrants at some point.
It's a good time now to start learning some #empathy & #caregiving for others for when *you* may need help & support yourself.

Smurfs Log: Arghhh…. Fuck bureaucracy!
* While I am writing a message to the notary to correct two errors to sell my mother's house next week, I just noticed that the mortgage bank had also made mistakes in their documents...
All of this was likely caused by an error made by the Land Registry, which was later corrected after I filed a complaint two months ago…
So I just had to reschedule my tomorrow morning meeting to get things moving again... 😡

The Weather of Our First Reaching
In the luminous space between mother and child, attachment becomes the first language of love — a silent exchange shaping how we trust, connect, and heal. This reflection explores the invisible architecture of early bonds, where psychology meets poetry and the heart learns its first rhythm of belonging.https://thereflectivemind9.wordpress.com/2026/06/18/the-weather-of-our-first-reaching/

For all who strive to live fully with dementia and all who offer support.

I wrote this for #caregivers w/my friend & healthcare expert, Ilyse Veron, a while back. One thing that strikes me as important but not always top of mind is that the person w/#dementia might be having an especially difficult day b/c they are in pain, physical pain. I think we are quick to attribute symptoms to neurological deficits when sometimes the problem is bodily. It can be hard to figure out but worth trying.

Words of reassurance left for an elderly lady with dementia by her daughter. A simple white board left in her sight line in her sitting room. Helped to reduce constant anxious phone calls.

Hilary for Charity is an amazing foundation, dedicated to helping caregivers whose loved ones have #dementia, created by Lauren Miller Rogen and Seth Rogen. I lead a support grief-- "Keeping Each Other Company: #Caregiving and Grief" -- focused on #grief, but there are many other groups. All are free and on Zoom.
If you are sad, angry, confused, lonely, whatever, these groups provide a space to share, listen, and even take a beat for a laugh.

If you watched the poignant special on Bruce Willis's #FTD and Emma Willis's experiences, and thought what Dr. Bruce Miller had to say was illuminating, you might want to check out these 2 books (one which he wrote with me).
Dr. Miller and Dr. Sturm, Mysteries of The Social Brain: Understanding Human Behavior through Science.
Dr. Miller and me, Finding the Right Words: A Story of Literature, Grief, and the Brain.

Sometimes #caregiving is about the chores: medications, money, meals, bathing, and more. But, in the quiet moments between the chores, it also can be about giving and sharing comfort, peace of mind, dignity, #kindness and love.

On Wednesday, July 23rd from 5 pm to 6:30 pm, I will be leading a caregiver support group at Kensington Place in Redwood City. It is open to everyone. If you are in the area and would like a space to share your experiences of #caregiving for a loved one with #dementia or listen to others', please RSVP and come.

New study cautions against characterizing caregiving as a chronic stressor detrimental to mental health and further echoes earlier calls for a more balanced portrayal of caregiving in policy reports and research literature.

November is #NationalCaregiver'sMonth. If you have time to read (or listen to) one #book that magnificently, painfully, and honestly shares the challenges of #caregiving, the complex workings of a #brain with #dementia, and the sheer power of #empathy, read #DashaKiper's #TravelersToUnimaginableLands. You will also learn how #Melville's #Bartleby, #Beckett's #Godot, #Kafka's #Metaphomorphosis, and other works of #literature help us understand #Alzheimer's.
