I lost my dad to Lewy body Dementia: The Cyril Effect

from Sickboy

What does it feel like to get your dad back for a few beautiful moments of clarity, only to have dementia snatch him away again? This week, we're joined by our dear friend Haley for a powerful and vulnerable conversation about losing her father, the beloved musician Cyril McPhee, to Lewy Body Dementia. Haley opens up about the "trickster" nature of the disease, the profound experience of "pre-grieving" a parent who is still alive, and the beautiful legacy he left behind, known as "The Cyril Effect." This is a deeply moving look at grief, family, and the enduring power of love in the face of a devastating illness.Check out the episode on YouTube to see some of Haley's incredible photos of her father in his final days: You can watch this entire episode over on YouTube!
