How to Forget: A Daughter's Memoir
by Kate Mulgrew
What does one do when called upon to parent the parents? This often comes after a terminal diagnosis and carries a need to assume the role of caretaker. I don’t know that Kate Mulgrew ever thought about how she would play this role but just as she has in so many roles before, she shares this one with us. This time through her own beautiful words and memories.
Kate Mulgrew’s mother has been diagnosed with atypical Alzheimer’s and is progressing in her disease when Kate’s father is diagnosed with terminal cancer and given only a few weeks to live. Kate steps away from her one-woman show and flies from West Palm Beach FL to her childhood home in Dubuque IA to be with family and to provide care to her dying parents.
From tender intimacies between her parents, to good and bad memories of growing up, to the most difficult decisions of administering palliative care we are privileged to share these final days with the family and to understand who T J and Joan Mulgrew really were. This is an honest and touching memoir by one of our favorite public figures.
