I Will Never Forget is the incredible true story of the author's talented mother's poignant and often humorous journey through the mystifying haze of Dementia. Through entertaining anecdotes of the author Elaine's childhood, from her controversial name, tales of smoking' dragons, the feisty teenage years and a near paralyzing accident her mother, Betty's wonderful character is revealed.
Over time as their relationship evolves and a new paradigm is formed, Betty begins to exhibit goofy actions, uncharacteristic verbal assaults and bizarre thinking. Although clearly mystified by her mother's irrational behaviors, Elaine does not appreciate the extent of her Betty's mental decline. Her amazing ability to mask the truth clouds Elaine's vision and prolongs her denial until one cataclysmic explosion of reality over an innocuous drapery rod launches a waterfall of destructive events.
As her mother's brilliant mind is steadily destroyed by Dementia's insatiable appetite for brain cells, Elaine accompanies her mother on her journey. She witnesses Betty's fascinating visions of her own mother, masterful Houdini-like disappearances and finally a stunning rally to take control of her own destiny.
I Will Never Forget is a heartwarming, funny, honest and deeply moving story pertinent to everyone touched by the insidious effects of Dementia. Learn from Elaine's unwitting mistakes as she weaves her way through her mother's unpredictable disease to capture insightful and effective intervention strategies
