Unknowing

Alice Raynold

– DEMENTIA AND THE END OF KNOWING –

George and Peg have shared sixty wonderful years together, looking forward to many more. But their luck starts to falter.
At first, it’s just small things: Peg misplaces items, grows anxious when George drives, while George struggles with sleep, balance, and a trembling hand. Peg notices him occasionally staring blankly, disconnected from their world. One moment, he’s the same sharp and loving George; the next, he seems lost.

When Peg finally decides to stop him from driving, George is furious. He insists that she’s the one who has changed—moody, overbearing, disrupting their once-perfect life. As tensions rise, their bond begins to fray.

But beneath their growing frustrations lies something far more insidious: Lewy Body Dementia, the second most common form of dementia, yet tragically misunderstood and often misdiagnosed. If more people—doctors included—recognized its subtle signs, George and Peg’s story might have ended differently.

Instead, it becomes a heartbreaking reflection of a disease that steals lives in silence, leaving countless others to suffer as they did.
