by Spring Courtright (Author)
Raw, unexpectedly funny, and deeply human, Rosemary's Way is a powerful memoir about courage and choice, grief and joy, and the decisions that shape a life.
When Spring Courtright's mother, Rosemary, starts showing signs of memory loss, Spring braces herself for the heartbreak of dementia so many families know. Instead, she discovers that her mother has a different plan that will change the course of their lives, and affect everyone they come into contact with.
Rosemary is a retired librarian with a fiercely independent spirit and a delightfully stubborn streak, and she refuses to let Alzheimer's decide how her story ends. When she makes a powerful decision not to accept the same fate as her mother, Spring becomes her guide in navigating the labyrinth of doctors, lawyers, family heartache, and a society uncomfortable with talking about how life ends.
Together, mother and daughter embark on an uncharted journey that tests the boundaries of love, autonomy, and what it truly means to care for someone.
About nine million people worldwide are diagnosed with dementia every year-Spring and Rosemary offer a rarely-talked-about way to move forward through this devastating experience with love and grace.
For anyone with aging parents, facing difficult conversations about the future, or beginning to think about their own aging, Rosemary's Way is a gentle hand to hold and a reminder:
Life is happening now. Don't wait to begin living it.
