#endalz — Public Fediverse posts

💜 This Alzheimer’s & Brain Health Awareness Month, I honor my grandmother, Doña Patria, and the millions of families affected by this disease.

➡️ Progress depends on research, prevention, early diagnosis, and the caregivers who hold everything together.

💜To every caregiver out there: you are seen, you are valued, and you are heroes.

Please consider buying #FindingtheRightWords: A Story of Literature, Grief, and the Brain, published by #jhupress while it's being discounted. The #memoir is about my father's early-onset #Alzheimer's, which I wrote with #neurologist Dr. Bruce Miller. Readers have said it captures the complexities of #grief that often accompany #dementia, & the #neurology behind the many diseases (#FTD, #CTE, et al.) comprising #dementia. #EndAlz, #medhums, #litstudies, #narrativemedicine https://weinsteinandmiller.com

"The book’s clear portrayal of the manifestations of a relatively poorly known form of Alzheimer’s disease, its documentation of the established certainties of the disease, and its definition of the boundaries of the different forms of dementia, are equally helpful for lay people, general doctors, and neurologists. The book’s free-flowing and unrestrained narrative, and its human angle chronicle, are refreshing, and I recommend it to all doctors."#medhums #EndAlz https://thedoctorsbookshelf.com/2023/02/26/finding-the-right-words/

March 6-11 is #CreativeBrainWeek at #TrinityCollegeDublin. I am so honored to be a part of this event with friends and colleagues. On the 8th, I'll be presenting on the "Imagination," and specifically how my love, most importantly for my father, and of #literature, too, helped me write, with #neurologist Dr. Bruce Miller, Finding the Right Words. #medhums, @litstudies #EndAlz

When the days weren't so long. You took such good care of dad, mom. 💞 #TheLongestDay. #EndAlz.

When the days weren't so long. I will miss you forever. #TheLongestDay. #EndAlz.

I wrote Finding the Right Words with #neurologist Dr. Bruce Miller hoping that telling my father's story of #early-onset #Alzheimer's Disease would help others. Thank you #Adolfo Garcia for these amazingly generous words. 💜 #medhums, #EndAlz

I'm honored to be talking this Friday about #caregiving, #grief, #dementia, and #FindingtheRightWords at the #Canterbury Senior Residence in #PalosVerdes. This book with #Dr.BruceMiller of #UCSF has many audiences, and we had all of them in mind as we wrote it. Those with #dementia and #caregivers are among the most important (#doctors and #litstudies people, #medhums, too), but we especially hope to reach the ones loving and caring everyday for people with dementia. #EndAlz
