Recently, the 55-year-old multi-platinum award-winning artist spoke with the Star about her father’s death in 2015, and coping with becoming a mother to her mother. Those candid posts are the basis of Arden’s new book Feeding My Mother: Comfort and Laughter in the Kitchen as My Mom Lives with Memory Loss. When singer-songwriter Jann Arden took to Facebook to share her frustration — and fear — of watching her father grapple with dementia and her mother with Alzheimer’s disease, she never imagined how deeply her experience would resonate with others. Imagine someone telling you that you don’t have a silver dress on when you have a silver dress on. It seemed to me like it was one day to the next that she was incapable of being my mother anymore.
