Conversations about Caregiving: In-Person Book Discussion
The Unexpected Journey: Finding Strength, Hope, and Yourself on the Caregiving Path by Emma Heming Willis

After her husband Bruce’s diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia (FTD), Emma Heming Willis walked out of the doctor’s office with nothing but a pamphlet, fear and uncertainty. After learning more about FTD, she wrote The Unexpected Journey, the book she wishes someone had placed in her hands that day. Based on her experience and with insights from leading experts, the book is intended to help other care partners feel less isolated, better prepared, and empowered to navigate this journey with strength and support.
Join the MGH FTD Unit for an in-person discussion group about The Unexpected Journey at the Ashby Public Library. Discussion will be facilitated by MGH FTD Unit staff.
