Dear Chau

I am sorry that you were unable to get the support you wanted to cope with the distress that your mothers dementia blip gave you.   Just the other day a friend of my late mum asked me how she was & I said we lost her a while ago. Then  she shook her self and said ” I have dementia”. I spoke about the little funeral we had & told her I would hold the memory for both of us & that she could never upset me. She smiled & we hugged.  My dad would just tap his head and say his brain was not working. Over the years we have had a couple of these poignant moments. Have you been to any talks about the different aspects and stages of dementia? My dad is on 35mils of coconut oil in his breakfast & there was / is a marked improvement in his mobility & cognitive skills. My friend tried a bit with his mother but she has diabetes & it played havoc with her blood sugars.

Kind regards

Roberta
