From people who came through it
“For whoever is where I was: I was right where you are a few years back. I remember finding the gas on like it was yesterday. I laugh properly again. x”
Rosaie S · been through caring for someone with dementia“This 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.”
Hector from Norfolk V · been through caring for someone with dementia“Please 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.”
junedusk69 · been through caring for someone with dementia“Dear 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. Hazez”
