About this listen
Andrea struggles to mourn a man who is still alive as she witnesses her father decline into the depths of Alzheimer's. Denial and devastation color her life when she learns her father, Richard, a recently retired surgeon, is diagnosed with Alzheimer's at the age of 67. Her dream to grow closer to him is crushed as the reality of his disease is fully realized. Andrea, a mother of three young children, learns to balance motherhood with daughterhood as she grapples to accept her father's fate. Andrea rides an unpredictable wave of tears, frustration, laughter, irony, and surprising joy as she and her family navigate the ups and downs of a disease that steals memories all the while providing hope from the lasting ones that remain.
