JUST JOSH: Having a Dad with Alzheimer's
Manage episode 425844077 series 1425329
Why does the death of some people punch us in the gut, and others slide by? Does your way of grieving indicate what you value in life?
Judith Whelan died last night. She was 62. She was Josh’s mentor, his champion, his arch-defender, playmate, and confidante, despite being his boss’s boss’s boss. She is, in many ways, the person who made Josh’s current career possible.
Another mentor and friend, Howard Fineman, died two weeks ago. And Josh’s father is in the death spiral of Alzheimer’s.
Here, Josh answers a question his six-year-old daughter asked him this morning: Why is he crying for Judith Whelan… but not his own dad?
