Cindy Weinstein, author of Finding the Right Words, joins Nicole Will to explore her father's early-onset Alzheimer's, anticipatory grief, and the complicated experience of loving someone through dementia. Blending literature, neuroscience, and her own story, Cindy shares what she learned about memory, loss, caregiving, and the love that can remain even when words and recognition begin to fade.

Dr. Francesca Falzarano, founder of the Falzarano Family Caregiver Lab at USC, joins us to explore how her personal caregiving journey inspired groundbreaking research into dementia care. From grief and identity to technology and connection, we discuss how caregiving changes us—and how research can truly serve caregivers. This episode is a powerful look at turning loss into impact and rethinking the future of dementia support.
