New book “When the Memories Fade” blends practical caregiving guidance with insights into how families can hold onto their loved ones’ stories, voices and wisdom

01/09/2026

Adrian Hanson, author of the book “When Memory Fades”, calls his 85-year-old mother in Jamaica several times a day. His book shares what that daily practice has taught him and provides a roadmap for any family in a similar situation, wanting to hold on to what their loved one carries inside them.
Mr Hanson was born and raised in Vere, Clarendon, Jamaica - a rural community shaped by strong family bonds, deep cultural roots, and a tradition of honouring elders that left a permanent mark on how he understands the world. He is an entrepreneur and devoted son and his new book blends practical caregiving guidance with insights into how families can hold onto the stories, voices, and wisdom of the people they love, before time takes the opportunity away.
It's aimed at anyone with an ageing parent, not only those facing a diagnosis. For adult children who want to ask the right questions while there's still time, caregivers who need both practical tools and emotional support, and families who want to preserve their history, not just manage a health crisis.
