Gina, who lives with dementia, told me she spoke on the phone last week to our friend Ann. Ann actually died last year from COVID, but Gina said Ann told her she is doing just fine. I didn’t remind Gina that Ann was dead. We just looked at each other with big smiles when I said, “Wow! That’s great news!” ��<br />Several people have told me that entering the world of people living with <br />dementia can be quite meaningful and pleasant when it is done correctly. They say that it uplifts moods of those persons with dementia who have difficulty dealing with death of loved ones or other experiences they may find difficult or unpleasant. Often in their reality, a situation can be less stressful when they respond in ways that make them feel better and are supported by others who are not forcing them to accept another reality. If you have had this experience, consider sharing it with others.Frances Shani Parkerhttp://www.francesshaniparker.comnoreply@blogger.com
