From people who came through it

  • โ€œA note for the next person. I was where you are in 2022. Sundowning around five. That was my life. These days I mostly feel like me. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do. One day at a time.โ€

  • โ€œThis time last year I was exactly where you are. Back then it was power of attorney paperwork. These days I mostly feel like me. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do. From someone who gets it.โ€

    Hector from Norfolk V ยท been through caring for someone with dementia
  • โ€œPlease be gentle with yourself and I wasn't, and it made everything harder so get a second opinion if it doesn't feel right and I did and it changed my treatment and and talk to someone, even if it's just in here.โ€

  • โ€œDear friend, If you're just starting out with dementia care, I want to say this: feeling angry and sad is normal. It doesn't make you a bad person. The sundowning hours are the toughest, but each evening ends. When help comes, take it, even if it's just a small thing. And look after yourself, because you can't pour from an empty cup. I'm still learning that. You've got company in this. Hazezโ€
