Joining us today on the ITBR is Professor Cindy Weinstein, who brought such a touching and deeply personal conversation to the table surrounding the stages of following a family member through dementia, grieving someone who's still alive and how it effects the writing process.
Professor Weinstein wrote Finding the Right Words around the peak of Covid. It follows her decades-long journey to come to terms with her father's dementia as both a daughter and an English professor. Being in a deeply vulnerable state in isolation was used as a vessel for writing and resulted in a deeply profound and personal read, guaranteed to touch the hearts of anyone regardless of if you've gone through a similar experience.
