From people who came through it

  • โ€œFor 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. xโ€

  • 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€

  • โ€œDear stranger, i was in the same place nearly four years ago. She accuses me of stealing her purse. That was my life. Last month I had people round for dinner. The bad days get further apart. One day at a time.โ€

    Swathi from Vadodara S ยท been through caring for someone with dementia
  • โ€œWhen I was at my worst, notes like this made me angry. So I'll just say what happened to me: she accuses me of stealing her purse was my lowets point. A year later I'm ok. Far from perfect. Ok. You will be too, in your own time.โ€
