Meghan Walsh - It’s Still Me

I would also like to thank my family for being part of the video that accompanies the song in honour of my grandmother who is living her dementia journey. Most importantly, the photos in the video portray some of the “meaningful memories” that our family has shared with my grandmother over the years and the loving “person” she was and still is today ❤️.

 Lyrical Meaning: The song lyrics encompass the changing roles between mother and daughter. In the song, the mother has dementia and the daughter takes on the role of nurturer and caregiver, a role that was once her mother’s as the daughter was growing up. The lyrics also touch on the thoughts and emotions that a person with dementia might be experiencing throughout the stages of dementia. These include: memory loss, fear, isolation, anxiety, as well as love, support, reassurance and validation. Most importantly, the lyrics portray the significance of seeing the “person” not the disease.
