About this listen

Mom’s Gone Missing is not a how-to book. It’s a here’s-what-unfolded book, a story of a daughter’s experience with a father’s decade-long Alzheimer’s journey and a mother’s lightning fast dementia decline and both of their deaths.

The narrative includes sibling tensions, a bewildering array of healthcare, financial and legal decisions, reconciliation of lifelong hurts, and the emotional tsunami that surges through all.

This book takes you inside a family’s experience and walks you through the practical and sometimes mundane steps taken to prepare for and ultimately accompany parents in death. It invites you in, encourages you to find familiar thoughts and emotions, and provides compassion for your worst moments, your rawest reactions, and your urge to laugh in sometimes inopportune moments.

It is a true story of a thoughtful writer’s journey with her parents, written with clarity, honesty, and vulnerability. Its ultimate wish is to create a community within which to share stories and offer support. You, in whatever stage of angst or pain, are welcome here.

I happened to be halfway thru the paperback version when the AUDIBLE became avail. The author is a natural at reading her own book! She chronicles every single thing that transpired, yet wisely keeps everything popping along at a lively, upbeat pace. I really benefited from this. Clearly, writing/recording it was cathartic for the author, and the catharsis spread to me as I listened, encouraging me to revisit my own experiences with my own parents...including the negative details I'd rather forget, now in a therapeutic way...and treasuring the wonderful moments I'd had, even more. For those just beginning on the caregiver journey, this book can help take the "fearful unknown" that lies ahead, and transform it into a something relatable and grounding.
