These are newest pages that I have posted from persons with dementia symptoms who have shared their lived experience thru words or projects.
Includes Barry Pankhurst, Cecil Ristow, David Kramer, Harry Urban, Max McCormick, Michael Ellenbogen, and Vicki Atkinson.
I thank each of you for your generosity of letting the public into your private world !
My hope is that your perspectives can be applied to help and encourage other patients, care-partners, and professionals.
These are newest pages that I have posted from persons with dementia symptoms who have shared their lived experience thru words or projects.
(I add the word “symptoms” because not everyone uses the same vocabulary; my collections include pages from those with diagnosis of Mild Cognitive Impairment as well as Alzheimers, Lewy Body, Vascular and other types of “dementia”)
I thank each of you for your generosity of letting the public into your private world ! My hope is that your perspectives can be applied to help and encourage other patients, care-partners, and professionals.
I am beginning to eliminate the “PWD” label from by own vocabulary.
I will NOT go to each one of my friends who have dementia symptoms with the need to discuss diagnosis issues, especially with the recent changes is terminology and definitions. Instead I will attempt to change my own phrasing, titles, and pictures, in both blog and newsletter, with efforts to minimize misunderstandings. But this will take time, so please show patience, but also do not be surprised at the changes.
So far this month I have posted pages from the following persons with dementia SYMPTOMS who have shared their lived experience: Cecil Ristow, David Kramer, Harry Urban, Janet Pitts, Kevin Smiley and Max McCormick. Thank you so very much for your generosity of letting the public into your private world ! My hope is that your words can be applied to help and encourage other patients, care-partners, and professionals.
Truthful Loving Kindness
