In this deeply moving episode of The Disappearing Mind, host Dawn Platt shares a revelation that will transform how you think about grief and memory after losing someone to dementia. Over a year after her mother's passing, Dawn discovers something unexpected: the painful memories of confusion and lost words have faded, while her mother's true self has returned in vivid, full-color clarity. Through her raw, personal reflection on love, loss, and the non-linear nature of grief, Dawn offers hope to anyone wondering if they'll ever remember their loved one without the shadow of disease. This episode promises a quiet corner of healing and the profound realization that when dementia fades, the person you loved most truly remains.
