Dear Friend of AlzAuthors,

We appreciate every author's story, each Facebook and LinkedIn share, Instagram like and comment, and retweet. Our goal is to connect writers to readers seeking the best resources created from personal experience with Alzheimer's and dementia. As you read our weekly emails and follow our social media posts, please continue to share our content across your own platforms, including any online or in-person support groups you attend. In this newsletter you’ll find an exciting virtual event in the works. Share widely: there are millions of caregivers out there starving for information and insight, and we have it. Remember: you are not alone, on either the caregiver or the author journey.

Introducing

In her powerful story Finding The Right Words, Cindy Weinstein shares a beautiful collaboration of literature and science to help us understand Alzheimer's disease.

Cindy writes:

My goal was to write a book that told the individual story of my father, his illness me, a girl from New Jersey who loved literature, and also told a general story about people with dementia, their brains, and their caregivers.

On The Podcast

Season 8 starts this week with Barbara Ella Milton, Jr., Ph. D. a licensed clinical social worker who heeded the call when her mother asked for help after an Alzheimer's diagnosis. At the time, she was battling cancer, and asked herself three questions: Could I? Should I? Would I? In this episode, we discuss how she managed her mother’s care while managing her own, dealing with deep-rooted trust issues, becoming the conductor of an orchestra of help, and the 40 first dates of iterative grief. Start listening!
