Do I Look at You with Love? were the words uttered by Mark
Freeman's mother when she learned, once again, that he was her son.
This book explores the experience of dementia as it transpired
during the course of the final twelve years of her life, from the
time of her diagnosis until her death in 2016 at age 93. As a
longtime student of memory, identity, and narrative, as well as the
son of a woman with dementia, he had a remarkable opportunity to
try to understand and tell her story. Much of the story is tragic.
But there were other periods and other dimensions of relationship
that were beautiful and that could not have emerged without her
very affliction. In the midst of affliction there were gifts,
arriving unbidden, that served to alert Freeman and his family to
what is most precious and real. These are part of the story too.
Part narrative psychology, part memoir, part meditation on the
beauty and light that might be found amidst the ravages of time and
memory, Freeman's moving story is emblematic of nothing less than
the bittersweet reality of life itself.
