Summary:
"Based on her Facebook posts and Instagram photos,
Feeding
My
Mother
is a frank, funny, inspirational and piercingly honest account of the transformation in Jann Arden's life that has turned her into the primary "parent" to her
mom
, who is in the grip of Alzheimer's. Jann Arden moved in to a house just across the way from her parents in rural Alberta to be close to them but also so they could be her refuge from the demands of the music business and a performing career. Funny how time works. Since her dad died in 2015, Jann cooks for her
mom
five or six times a week. Her
mom
finds
comfort
in her daughter's
kitchen
, not just in the delicious food but also just sitting with her as she cooks. And Jann finds some peace in caring for her
mom
, even as her
mom
slowly becomes a stranger. "If you told me two years ago that I'd be here," Jann writes, "I wouldn't have believed it. And yet we still fall into so much
laughter
, feel so much insane gladness and joy. It's such a contrast from one minute to the next and it teaches me constantly: it makes me stronger and more humble and more empathetic and caring and kind." The many people who are dealing with a loved one who is losing it will find inspiration and strength in Jann's wholehearted, loving response and her totally Jann take on the upside-down world of a daughter mothering her
mother
.
Feeding
My
Mother
is one heck of an affirmation that life just keeps on keeping on, and a wonderful example of how you have to roll with it. Jann Arden is a Canadian singer, songwriter, broadcaster, actor, and author. Visit her website at JannArden.com"--Provided by publisher.
