My Mind Wanders

My Mind Wanders

Is the title of the book written by Laila Keuning.

It tells of her experiences following the diagnosis of Posterior Cortical Atrophy (PCA). PCA is a rare form of dementia.

What happens when your vision gradually worsens and disappears, even though your eyes are still healthy? When letters dance on the page, faces become blurred and fade away, and everyday actions suddenly turn incomprehensible?

In this poignant and deeply personal book, Laila shares what it is like to live with Posterior Cortical Atrophy (PCA), a rare form of dementia that affects the visual brain. With sharp observations, painful memories, and moments of unexpected clarity, she takes the reader into her own world. A world that becomes increasingly difficult to grasp, yet where meaning and humanity are always present.

This book is not a medical report of an illness, but a story told from the inside out: “I describe my search for support, connection, and acceptance.”

For anyone touched by dementia, whether up close or from a distance, this book offers recognition, insights and connection.
