JUST JOSH: Having a Dad with Alzheimer's

Uncomfortable Conversations with Josh Szeps

Why does the death of some people punch us in the gut, and others slide by? Does your way of grieving indicate what you value in life?

Judith Whelan died last night. She was 62. She was Josh’s mentor, his champion, his arch-defender, playmate, and confidante, despite being his boss’s boss’s boss. She is, in many ways, the person who made Josh’s current career possible.
