About Final Flight West: The Last Trip with My Dad, Through Parkinson's and Lewy Body Dementia

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.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍

Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
