My Mom Inez: Our Alzheimer's Journey

Alzheimer’s hijacked their plans,
required their full attention, and
forced them to change their daily
habits—their very lives—in order to
accommodate its merciless, unrelenting
demands. In My Mom Inez, author Bob
Miller shares the story of his family’s
life against the backdrop of Alzheimer’s
disease.
In this deeply personal and powerful
account, Miller tells of his role as an
only son who unexpectedly found
himself in the position of having to
care for his beloved mother, Inez,
once it became clear she had been
stricken with Alzheimer’s disease. In
this memoir, he narrates his struggles
to understand what was happening and
how he then coped with the emotional,
medical, social, and economic issues
her condition brings to their lives.
With the family’s history interwoven,
My Mom Inez demonstrates the strength
of the human spirit as Miller remains
dedicated to providing the same loving
care for his mother that she delivered
to him throughout his life.
