Where the Light Gets In: Losing My Mother Only to Find Her Again by Kimberly Williams-Paisley

5.0

Wow. What a beautiful story. This book was actually recommended to me by my therapist because my mom also suffers from early onset frontal lobe dementia and I have found it hard to relate to stories about loss. This type of grief is nothing like I have ever experienced. I was only 17 when she was first diagnosed so I feel robbed of that time with my mom. I never got to know “old mom”. With my mom still being alive and suffering with this disease I have felt guilty for grieving her when she is still physically with us.

It felt like Kim went into my brain and into my feelings and wrote them down on paper. All of the roadblocks, emotions, and feelings I have felt all were validated while reading Kim’s story.
