My grandmother’s battle with dementia has been incredibly difficult — a loss of a guiding light in my life, but also the gradual erasure of a cultural history I cherish deeply.

I wrote about her – and the profound impact she has had on my life – in the April 2020 edition of Maclean’s Magazine, which is on newsstands now.

(An online version should be available soon, which I will link here when it goes live. I’m also tempted to post the text of my original piece, which had to be trimmed down a bit for space.)

UPDATED 03.20.20: The online version is now available here.
