The Inspiration

I’ve battled with the idea of writing this book for many years.
One side of me felt compelled to rid the overwhelming feelings my father’s illness brought about: Guilt, anger, anxiety, frustration and sadness like I've never felt. Another side was terrified to put pen to paper for fear of facing a reality that was completely beyond my control.

This blog samples our memoir. It offers glimpses of my father passing his baton to me, whether I was ready for the hand off or not. It also gives resources and tools that I found useful as I went through the journey with him.

The memoir remains a work in progress, and I hope—whether it be learning to cope, empathizing with my experience, or knowing you are not alone as you go through your own—that it helps.
