Alzheimer A Visual Poem
Petra Anders sent me a link to this poem by the Dutch Artist, Peter Meijboom
Heartbreaking in its simplicity and truth. Words and experiences disappearing from the dementia patient's mind until only the I is standing...and then...no longer. Thank you, Mr. Mejiboom. Quite stunning.
