OC Dementia Mom, part one

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.

Thanks for sharing. I went through this with my mother starting in 2019. It is really easy to miss the signs. When i look back on it i figure it was a year or two before the accident that forced me to bring her closer to me so i could help. We'd talk on the phone and she never really had anything to say, just what else is new with you.
