Alzheimer's Daughter by Jean Lee: September 2022

The Story

Alzheimer’s Daughter introduces the reader to my healthy parents, Ed and Ibby, years before their diagnosis, then recounts painful details as our roles reversed and I became my parents’ parent.

Their disease started as translucent, confused thoughts and ended in a locked memory care unit after a near decade of descent into the opaque world of Alzheimer's.

I began writing Alzheimer’s Daughter one week after my mother's death––when I was stunned, realizing Dad had no memory of her or their 66-year marriage.

I write to pay tribute to the undying spirit at Ed and Ibby's core, and with the hope that the story of their parallel decline might be helpful to others.

Have you seen this gorgeous book? I was captivated by the beauty of the cover. Scott Rose pours his spouse caregiver story out in We Danced: Our Story of Love and Dementia.

Scott writes:

I watched all the things that we built start to fade as things do, but saw our love remain – the most important aspect of our life together. Despite communication barriers and behavioral crashes, we sustained that love till, and through, her last breath, with me weeping at her bedside.
