- While each life story is unique, dementia's ripple effect on relationships touches us in common ways. In this collection, we're invited to share one mother-daughter dementia journey from the early days of a woman's life through years in a nursing home and also the emotional transformations that continue after a loved one’s death. These poems, some created from the mother’s words and all from the daughter’s heart, invite us to see Mitchell's mother Audrey as a complete, albeit changed, woman at the close of her life—and also how the depth and complexity of Mitchell's love for her is enriched by understanding what remains, and remains transformative, even as a brain changes.
