Yesterday I posted a picture of my sister, Sally, and her husband, Dave, with Bob & me. Only 3 people have clicked “like” on that post which was titled “Speaking to Dementia.” I think it was a post that deserves a lot more views and “likes”than that. In it I posted some tips on how I was able to get a few words and a smile out of my sister while we were on a ZOOM meeting.
Also, I resposted some tips from our niece, Tammy, who is a nurse, about some do’s and don’ts when communicating with people who have dementia or Alzheimer’s.
I am not going to create a new post today… but instead, in a “Throwback Thursday,” I am asking you to click on “Speaking to Dementia” over on the right margin… and take a few minutes to review this crucial subject. You just never know when you might be the one who needs this information next!
Love,
JanBeek

Thank you for posting, my grandmother had dementia and lived with my parents until she needed the services of a nursing home. She was close and my mom was able to visit her e wry day. My mom was with her the day she passed, sweet memories of my mom and grandmother. I miss them both dearly. They are with our Heavenly Father.
I am glad to have triggered happy memories for you, Charlotte. Have a blessed day. Thank you for sharing. Do 🐝 well! ❤️

I thought that must be the case.
