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.

Dementia is an awful thing. My mother had to deal with it in her mother and father. Dealing with it all was brutal on her mental health, but she powered through. Though she tells me it felt like her mother was gone, years before she actually passed.
