Our friend Marj

Geriatric Care Testimonial

We have a dear friend in Marj. She is in the fullness of her life celebrating her birthdays. We hope you lovingly read her son's letters about their journey as Marj lives "joyous" in the "eternal present" with her dementia.

-Dorian, Ruth, Marcia, Linda, and Katie

Below are several letters that Marge's family has graciously shared with us.

Letter from February, 2007 | Letter from January, 2008 | Letter from February , 2010

After The Forgetting... a delicate story about love and dementia. It weaves memory and moments through the intertwined lives of Greg Sharrow, his mother Marj, and his husband Bob. And, if you’re wrestling with a tricky emotional story, producer Erica Heilman has written usefully on Transom about the process of making this meditation. As she says, she wanted to “offer people a picture of how one family is managing dementia in a really graceful, loving way. I wanted to achieve this without ever using words like ‘loving’ or ‘graceful’."
