DEMENTIA: FORMAL VS INFORMAL
The state we reach through the progressive vanishing of the memories, places, things and people that have filled our lives. There is revolt, fear, paranoia, rejection, and sometimes violence. It takes from us our notions of order, of good and evil, and time.
Slowly, we are left confused, vulnerable, fragile and completely dependent.
For me, communication has become a spiritual act. Care and love remain intact, but the pain grows. Losing before the loss, letting go of this life has a closer frontier, a frontier we all must reach.
