OMG! It's so freaking enjoyable to #edit a #journal article for a highly experienced, funny-as-hell #neurologist as I listen to Mozart, see sun shining in, and feel the spring breeze coming in. I think I wanna do this when I grow up!
Oh, wait—I *am* doing this as a grown-up!
Thank you to the #Penn Memory Center for hosting #AgeofAging & this episode on ambiguous loss. We discussed the experiences of my father's early-onset #Alzheimer's & my attempt to put into words my love & #grief for what he was going through. W/gratitude to the #PennMemoryCenter and, as always, to #neurologist Dr. Bruce Miller of #UCSF's #MemoryandAgingCenter for writing w/me our dual #memoir, Finding the Right Words: A Story of Literature, Grief, & the# Brain.
