What do we do when faced with the obligation of caregiving for a loved one with whom we’ve had a strained relationship for decades? Walk away? Author Josh Hickman didn’t, and his emotionally harrowing memoir of over three years spent caregiving for his mother illuminates and explores his lonely but ultimately rewarding personal story. An honest and poignant account of the power of perseverance and reconciliation, Forgetting recounts the struggle of a son to come to terms with his deeply troubled relationship with his mother as she succumbs to dementia.

Forgetting chronicles the unexpected life circumstances which led author Josh Hickman to his three-plus year journey of solo caregiving for a mother with whom he had a very difficult relationship. Left with the responsibility of taking care of her as her dementia set in, he shares his personal insights and struggles learning how to navigate through the process. This book is a highly relevant, timely and valuable resource for young people currently dealing with this evolving dilemma, who might have lived through it or who might be experiencing it in the near future.
