What if your words slowly began to fade—but your voice, your identity, and your will to be heard remained stronger than ever?

My Life with Frontotemporal Dementia: I May Lose Words, but Not My Voice is the powerful and intimate memoir of Raimund Oberschmid, written after his diagnosis with Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD), a rare neurological condition that affects language, emotions, and behavior.

With honesty, vulnerability, and remarkable clarity, Raimund shares what it means to live with a condition that changes how he communicates, yet cannot silence who he is. His story shows that dementia is not only about loss—it is also about dignity, connection, and love that speaks beyond words.

💬 “I may lose words, but I refuse to lose myself.”

In this heartfelt account, Raimund offers insight into moments of confusion, frustration, and fear, but also into unexpected humor, faith, and strength. He reveals how relationships transform, how memories shift, and how the human spirit persists even in uncertainty. His voice becomes a reminder that every person with dementia deserves to be seen, heard, and respected.
