At 60 years old,my mom was found to have Parkinson’s disease.In the early days of my mother’s illness,she and my father focused on keeping her mobile.They also wanted to ensure that she was well enough to stay at home and avoid long-term care.So,she began taking medicine that would help her keep her ability to move.The downside of the medicine,my parents would later learn,was that it sped up memory loss.

Parkinson’s is a progressive illness.This means that the condition only worsens over time.Over the years,both her movement and memory worsened.The main problem we faced was that she was getting more agitated(焦虑不安的) and aggressive in the evenings.This period of increased agitation,irritability(易怒) and confusion made caring for my mom an overwhelming task.

It’s painful to see your parent getting weaker.I really wanted to find a way to help.Then,by chance,my parents discovered a music program that aired on the radio in the evenings.The change in my mother was quick and clear.She was happy—sitting in her chair,nodding along to the music as it played,and even singing!

Music had always played a role in my mom’s life—she had been active in her singing group for years—up until it was no longer possible for her to stand comfortably in the risers.As soon as my dad and I realized the big influence it had on her spirit,we started playing music all day.We began setting the TV to music stations for as much of the day as possible and listening to music programs in the evenings.Music has lifted a great weight from my father’s and my shoulders.

In addition to making it easier to care for her,music also brought light back to my mom’s eyes that had dimmed(变暗淡).

There are certain songs that have the power to bring back memories(记忆) of youth—sitting in the park on a sunny day,dancing on a night out with your college friends...

Are you thinking of yours now?Does it happen to be a song that takes you straight back to your teens or twenties?If so—you’re not alone.

Scientific studies show we remember more from our teens and early twenties than any other period of our lives.The music we listen to during this period has a greater lasting influence than songs in later life because of a psychological phenomenon(心理学现象) called the reminiscence bump.
