Dementia has had a deep impact on my family over the years. Both of my grandmothers suffered with the disease for a large numbers of years and it taught us all many things. We learned to live in the moment and appreciate the little things like the sea air, a pebble on the beach, the sound of music and a tasty blackberry. We were taught to treasure the present and also a great deal of resilience through times that were less than ideal. Through each of their journeys with dementia, we learned how to support one another and how to love unconditionally. They both taught us all so much but there were hard times too. Moments of sadness and an extended period of loss for many of us who could remember who they were before. Although we still found great joy with both of them, it was an incredibly difficult journey and if we can make it better for other families then I want to do my part. Through research and ongoing innovations, I hope that we can make this journey easier for others and in future, it may even become a thing of the past. Anything you can donate is very much appreciated. Thank you.
