Dear Loved One,
ā If I get dementia, I want my friends and family to embrace my reality. If I think my spouse is still alive, or if I think weāre visiting my parents for dinner, let me believe those things. Iāll be much happier for it.
ā If I get dementia, donāt argue with me about what is true for me versus what is true for you.
ā If I get dementia, and I am not sure who you are, do not take it personally. My timeline is confusing to me.
ā If I get dementia, and can no longer use utensils, do not start feeding me. Instead, switch me to a finger-food diet, and see if I can still feed myself.
ā If I get dementia, and I am sad or anxious, hold my hand and listen. Do not tell me that my feelings are unfounded.
ā If I get dementia, I donāt want to be treated like a child. Talk to me like the adult that I am.
ā If I get dementia, I still want to enjoy the things that Iāve always enjoyed. Help me find a way to exercise, read, and visit with friends.
ā If I get dementia, ask me to tell you a story from my past.
ā If I get dementia, and I become agitated, take the time to figure out what is bothering me.
ā If I get dementia, treat me the way that you would want to be treated.
ā If I get dementia, make sure that there are plenty of snacks for me in the house. Even know if I donāt eat I get angry, and if I have dementia, I may have trouble explaining what I need.
ā If I get dementia, donāt talk about me as if Iām not in the room.
ā If I get dementia, donāt feel guilty if you cannot care for me 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Itās not your fault, and youāve done your best. Find someone who can help you, or choose a great new place for me to live.
ā If I get dementia, and I live in a dementia care community, please visit me often.
ā If I get dementia, donāt act frustrated if I mix up names, events, or places. Take a deep breath. Itās not my fault.
ā If I get dementia, make sure I always have my favorite music playing within earshot.
ā If I get dementia, and I like to pick up items and carry them around, help me return those items to their original place.
ā If I get dementia, donāt exclude me from parties and family gatherings.
ā If I get dementia, know that I still like receiving hugs or handshakes.
ā If I get dementia, remember that I am still the person you know and love.
į“į“į“Ź į“ɓᓠį“į“sį“į“ in Honor of someone you know or knew who has dementia. In Honor of all those I know and love and lost who are fighting Dementia/Alzheimerās.
