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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Read for Those Impacted by Dementia
Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2024
This book is a great account of the personal journey of caregiving paired with a deeper understanding of a dementia diagnosis. Cindy Weinstein depicts the journey of caring long distance for a father with Alzheimer's Disease touching on themes of guilt, grief, and the emotional roller-coaster many caregivers experience. I think any caregiver out there could identify with many parts of her journey. In addition, Dr. Bruce Miller provides a section at the end of each chapter to dive deeper into the science of Alzheimer's Disease from a physician's perspective and does a fabulous job of explaining many of signs, symptoms, and behaviors in someone living with dementia. As someone who works in the dementia field as a social worker for over 6 years, even I came away with new knowledge and perspective after reading this book.

@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.
