When Words Disappear

A valuable resource for clinicians, caregivers, friends, family members and anyone impacted by grief. In 2012, Jennifer Siefert's mother was diagnosed at age 58 with corticobasal syndrome, a rare, progressive brain disease similar to Early Alzheimer's. When Words Disappear is the collection of searing poems she wrote during her mother's illness. The poems and refections provide a firsthand account of caregiving and grieving for a loved one with this devastating illness.
