Look Directly at Grief | Cindy Weinstein, Author, Professor | EP14

 

This week, we're excited to introduce author Cindy Weinstein, of Finding the Right Words: A Story of Literature, Grief, and the Brain. We pick Cindy's brain about processing illness with words and discussing the grief that exists around illness.

 

And, today is extra special, as it's the 1 year birthday of the book!

 

Cindy Weinstein is an English professor who wrote a dual memoir with Dr. Bruce Miller, neurologist at UCSF, about her father's early-onset Alzheimer's. She describes her father's illness from the point of view of a daughter and lover of literature and Bruce from the point of view of a son and neurologist. In chapters about diagnosis, word-finding, spatial disorientation, and behavior, the last chapter is about -- memory -- and she is able to recover memories of my father before he became sick.

We've included a short excerpt of the book on our stories website www.griefdialoguesstories.com
