This was heartbreaking! My grandmother lost most of her memories (none of my grandfather, I don’t think, but most of her sons and definitely of us grandkids), and I can’t imagine what that’s like.

I would not want to live like that. It terrifies me.

This is both beautiful and heartbreaking. Did you ever watch Castle Rock on Hulu? The first season does an amazing and unique way of portraying dementia.

I did. Really enjoyed it.

I was not expecting that! I lost two grandparents to Alzheimer's and dementia, so that fear of it worming it's way in always there. I hope that those who suffer can find rooms here like your character did. This portrayal was quite tender 🖤.

This is excellent, heartbreaking but excellent

Ug! There are make believe ghosts...and then there are the very real things that are truly haunting. This is one of the latter, brought to eloquent life. Bravo!
