I’m Still Me: A Reflection on Dementia, Aging, and Identity

Between each episode, Cody offers a brief reflection on the themes he discussed with his guest the week before.

Today, Cody reflects on his conversation with Jackie & Shannon, and what can happen to our identity—our sense of self—when we begin to lose memories, shift roles, and face what sometimes seems like a stranger in the mirror. What makes a person who they are? What do we do when our role in life changes?

Music for this episode is from Trevor Ransom, "The Lamp Kept Us Warm But Now We Walk."
