Bad Company - Hardcover

For anyone dealing with a loved one suffering from dementia, a gripping story of grief, memory, family, and fathers and sons.

What happens when your hero begins to disappear, first in little glitches, symptoms so banal you can't help but mistake them for age? What do you do when the shift is undeniable? And how do you respond when an insidious disease arrives invisibly and begins whittling away everything you once knew, reducing them to a stranger who returns in small bursts only to retreat again into an ever-increasing fog?

Blending sharp observation with dark humor, DiGregorio explores the brutal realities of caregiving, the weight of guilt and loyalty, the expectations of masculinity, and the heartbreak of watching someone you love disappear while they're still alive. Honest, unsparing, and deeply personal, Bad Company is as much about the slow collapse of a parent as it is about the strain on those left trying to hold the family and themselves together.
