Abstract
This is the story of a mother and a daughter, now informed by the mother's worsening dementia. Identities, memories, and subjectivities are interwoven in this narrative reflection exploring the continuing, influential, and rich relationship between the mother, Mom; her daughter, Deborah; and the relatives, friends, and colleagues—both past and present—who have helped build and maintain these identities. Narratives (Bochner, 2000; 2001; Carr, 1986; Davis, 2008), memories (Connerton, 1995, 2011; Davis, 2003; Romano, 2004), and identities (Gergen, 1971, 1991) are created, revised, and reconstituted through reflexivity in consideration of the other (Madison, 2012).
期刊介绍:
In one forum, Journal of Loss and Trauma brings together scholarship on personal losses relating to family, health, and aging issues. The journal addresses issues dealing with psychological and physical health and interpersonal losses relative to extended family, community life, and society as a whole. In order to broaden the reader"s perspective on loss and bereavement, the journal defines loss as a major reduction in a person"s resources, whether personal, material, or symbolic, to which the person was emotionally attached. Types of loss covered include: death and dying; dissolution and divorce; loss of employment; life-threatening diseases and long-term disability; loss of possessions; homelessness.
