Review of Without Memory: Living with Dementia

Your program struck just the right note -- candid, gentle, tender without being cloying. It made me stop and think about the essence of relationships, what it means when the "currency of the relationship is love." I was touched that Marjorie seems to be refining her zest for life and extending that gift to these "two men" she enjoys, even as she loses her specific memories of them as her son and son-in-law. Greg, Bob and Marjorie are fortunate in having love as their bedrock.. Thank you for allowing us to share in this glimpse of the opportunities available to us at moments of life such as these.
