... Something truly fascinating
In my latest project, as a group we have been looking into the issues surrounding dementia. I've talked to a few different people about there experiences of loved ones suffering with the disease, and the outcomes have been amazing.
A friend i spoke to said although her grandma was suffering with loosing her memory, she could still remember things from her childhood. She could knit and dance and enjoy music.
Another lady i spoke to, brought up the importance of telling stories. Of people sharing there experiences with the world, and even if they repeat the same story over and over, it dosen't matter because its new each time for them.
This whole idea of creating something, which gives people hope and joy throughout the course of dementia - by looking into there history / stories and building an individual, tailor-made plan to carry them through.
more to come......
