När Wendy Mitchell får diagnosen Alzheimer vid 58 års ålder tvingas hon lägga om hela sitt liv. Allt det hon tagit för givet blir gradvis till en kamp: att cykla till affären, att sköta sitt jobb, laga mat och springa. Vem är man när man förlorar sina minnen? Vad är kärlek när man inte längre känner igen dem man älskar? Hur behåller man glädjen, och sitt sinne för humor, i en tillvaro som långsamt slocknar? "Hon som var jag" är hoppfull historia, trots allt.
