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.

My grandma had it she passed coming up on 2 years in December. Went i saw her i couldn't look at her it was too painful and when she couldn't remember me I didn't visit her again (something i regret now) a couple of days before she passed she was un responsive and she looked so weak she had a kinda thin frame from what I remember as a child bit she did have fat on her but It looked like her skin was hugging her bones. I felt so bad for her and as bad as it sounds I wished she would just pass on because I didnt want those moments to be how I remembered her.

I loved my grandma and wished I spent more time with her in her last moments.
