Thank you dear reader for this kind & generous review of Finding the Right Words: A Story of Literature, Grief, & the Brain, the #memoir I wrote with #UCSF #neurologist, Dr. Bruce Miller in honor of my father who died of #early-onset #Alzheimer's. For people interested in reading other books about #dementia, I would recommend #DashaKiper's Travelers to Unimaginable Lands, #SandeepJauhar's My Father's Brain, & #AmyBloom's In Love.

@IntentionallyBLANK @MardraS @LaNaehForaday. All of this is very true. In the spirit of support, I'd like to recommend #DashaKiper's Travelers to Unimaginable Lands: Stories of Dementia, the Caregiver, and the Human Brain. It's about how very hard #caregiving is, especially in the context of #Alzheimer's. It is available as an #audiobook if time for reading is scarce.

@design_law. Fun!

@lastrobot. Oh, that's a really great one! I was JUST thinking that #DashaKiper's #TravelersToUnimaginableLands would be a good non-fiction book to include. Thank you!

@andisheh. Love this question! I read the Everett and Oshetsky a while ago but they remain very much with me.

@IntentionallyBLANK. I am so sorry to hear about this incredibly difficult/painful/lengthy situation. I hear you about a care facility. If we are wise, we communicate to the people we love what we want. I recently read several books that touch upon different options. In case you're interested, there is #AmyBloom's In Love, #SandeepJauhar's My Father's Brain, #DashaKiper's Travelers to Unimaginable Lands. I also wrote a #memoir w/ #neurologist Dr. Bruce Miller about my father's dementia.
#EndAlz

Having just read several recent #books/#memoirs about #Alzheimer's, I recommend #AmyBloom's, #DashaKiper's, and #SandeepJauhar's. Each tells the story of loves and losses (to borrow from Bloom's subtitle) in different and powerful ways.

@Likewise @bookstodon. #DashaKiper, Travelers to Unimaginable Lands.

This is an extremely difficult moment. My father may not have known me as his early-onset #Alzheimers worsened but I always knew he loved me. That understanding sometimes held me together. If this moment speaks to you, here are two excellent books about #dementia: #DashaKiper's Travelers to Unimaginable Lands and #SandeepJauhar My Father's Brain. I also honored my father with a #memoir that I wrote with #neurologist, Dr. Bruce Miller.

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.

#caregiving
#grief

#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
