Dementia is very confusing! Really? You might think that I have just come to a "duh" moment, but I don't believe so. Dementia IS really confusing to both the one suffering from it AND for the caregiver. My blog, though, is from the point of view of the one who has the dementia, so I will pursue that thought path.

Reminiscing a powerful “drug” for people with dementia

I love stories. When I was a teenager, I’d encourage grandparents to relate stories of their young years struggling to survive on the wind-swept prairie. When I grew older, I was fascinated by the stories my parents and in-laws told of their early years of growing up during the Great Depression. Little did I know at the time that... Read moreChevron
