The series, A Tangled Tale, is about Alzheimer’s disease.
Towards the
end of her life, my mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s.
Our ability
to communicate with each other changed on a daily basis.
Some days I was
able to reach through the tangles of the disease to find her, confused
and muddled but still there. Other days, I found a younger woman who
was, once again, a mother holding her baby or sometimes I found her
still a nurse in a tidy white uniform.
Finally, at the end, all I could
locate was a shadow.
