Where the Light Gets In: Losing My Mother Only to Find Her Again by Michael J. Fox, Kimberly Williams-Paisley

3.0

As I approach 40 the reality of parents and in-laws aging looms. We all want our parents to thrive even as they age, yet dementia is a real possibility facing individuals and their families. Williams-Paisley shares her mother's experience from first symptoms to diagnosis to further degeneration. All of these stages come with a kind of loss that needs to be grieved (by all parties) and issues such as important conversations before parents lose their lucidity, the burdens of caregiving, and revising expectations are all addressed.
