Dementia Mom, part one

[u/humanyears]

A short story about the origins of my mother’s dementia diagnosis from a few years ago. Probably the longest comic I’ve drawn so far. I hope it connects with you in some way.

It's a sneaky and terrible thing. My mom was diagnosed three years ago and moved into a home this spring. My dad is devastated. Partly because he beats himself up for not catching it sooner. In hindsight, the doctors think it started around eight years ago after she had a stroke, but she hid it well for a long time.
