Final Flight West: The Last Trip with My Dad, Through Parkinson's and Lewy Body Dementia
by allison tannery
Final Flight West is the last trip with my father, a navy and career pilot, as we navigate through the early signs, diagnosis, his death and the aftermath of his Parkinson's and Lewy Body Dementia. While I supply some resources, I wrestle here with what it feels like to walk through a terminal illness that causes many mini-deaths and losses for years before the final goodbye. I discuss the anger, the devastation and the hope I thought I might not have again. This amazing theme music is by the even more amazing Nate Livingston. @natelivingstonn

Episode 2: Navigating Parkinson's and Lewy Body Dementia
I can't afford my lovely therapist as much as I should see her since my Dad died of Parkinson's and Lewy Body Dementia last November. Pretending I can do a podcast about it seems to help. This episode is my awkward fledgling effort, and likely somewhat painful to get through. Its also the longest. If you wind up here and are understandably underwhelmed, be nice. My dad died.Continuing the trip that is suspecting, discovering and surviving my father's diagnosis of Parkinson's and Lewy Body Dementia. And the healing on the other side.
