Dr. Dani Cabral speaks with Dr. Cindy Weinstein about her experience navigating her father’s early-onset Alzheimer’s diagnosis, a journey that reshaped her understanding of family, identity, and grief, alongside her professional work in the humanities.
Dr. Cindy Weinstein is the Eli and Edythe Broad Professor of English at the California Institute of Technology and an Atlantic Fellow for Equity in Brain Health. A scholar of nineteenth-century American literature, she has authored several books and brings a literary lens to the experience of loss and meaning-making.
Together, they explore how Alzheimer’s transforms family dynamics, the evolving landscape of grief, and the healing power of storytelling. Dr. Weinstein reflects on her book Finding the Right Words, co-authored with neurologist Dr. Bruce Miller, and discusses writing as a way to process ambiguity and loss. The conversation also examines the role of caregivers and healthcare professionals, the importance of support communities, and the intersection of literature and neurology in helping us understand what it means to live through profound change.
