Dear friends,
We are holding this space for “transforming thoughts.”
All are included here because the message is about caring for someone living with dementia. The message speaks to the monumental need for societal change in our approach to caring for older people.
From old narratives
To new narratives.
From impossible
To what is possible.
From a societal response that “they don’t remember anyway,”
To an important understanding that they may well remember – yes – to the cellular level.
From witnessing their stoic dread of abandonment and isolation
To witnessing their well-being, contentment, and fulfillment in knowing that they matter.
From the malaise of “loneliness, helplessness, and boredom”
To being the very heart of a person-centered – and person-directed – care team.
From witnessing the fear of being left behind
To being present in their joy – the joyful bursting into song when the spoken words are out of reach and no longer within their grasp.
From the chaos and confusion created around us… To one collective Beautiful Voice!
May we be inspired to look again to the wisdom of our elders and to transform how we care for the most vulnerable.
