A well-written and thoughtful piece in the NYT’s today. I haven’t read his new book (The Living End) yet, but this brief essay suggests he clearly sees much more than loss in the dementia experience.
There is definitely a shift in the air…at least in the memoirs about the dementia experience. The policies and official organizational language still lag, of course…but perhaps with the army of the newly diagnosed helping to fight for their dignity, even those will begin to change.
