Status Update: Dementia

by Shawn Rozett Senning

$12.98

My mother once told me that if she ever got to a point in her life when she couldn't dance or use her feet, she wouldn't want to be on Earth. She went from tap dancing on the radio as a child to being confined to a wheelchair, with moments in her mind that made her believe she was still dancing. A journey that no one should travel alone. This is the journey of my mother's dementia, including the boring days, the not-so-boring days, and everything in between. A journey that became lonely, with bursts of humor in between. The normalcy that we hope for changes when we least expect it. Family disagreements, happy moments, shocking moments, embarrassing moments, anger, frustration... all part of the journey. From not knowing where to start or where to turn for help, the journey did not end until it did. Join me as I step into my mother's brain for a few years and try to navigate all her tomorrows. She is at rest now. She is dancing with the stars.
