The last few months, I have noticed a lot of changes in my physical and cognitive health, and have watched on as so many others are struggling with worsening or new health issues, or facing difficult personal challenges. It is worrying, and on some days, it would be so easy to give up not only advocacy, but many of the other things I get up to! Regarding the changes in cognitive abilities and disabilities… today, at one of the support groups I co host, I was unable to ‘understand’ what one of our members was saying, when usually I can easily comprehend and support her. This is how I replied:
Thinking of you Kate-take care:) I have had the same situation also with my grandad:(

Hi Kate. This is priceless that you have been able to write it like this. It is really important that more people understand this about people living with a dementia. I suspect that all people living with a dementia can always understand with their heart, even though their cognition may have waned to some degree.
