From Alive Magazine - Is Improvisation a Cornerstone for Dealing with Dementia?

From the July edition of Alive Magazine, this article -  entitled "As You Go Along" - asks : When you are a parent of a child, and also a child of a parent afflicted with dementia, how do you plan for what’s coming? And then asserts that sometimes, you just don't.

I'd like to thank two people who were not only instrumental in contributing to this article, but also as much in guiding me through a challenging year: Sabrina Dion and Caroline Meynard. These two women, thankfully, have as much experience with dementia as they do patience.

 Thank you for reading:

Sobering thought. I am now pushing 70 and grandma to a 2-year-old and a 6 week old. I think it is a fear for every senior. While I want to believe staying active and keeping the mind busy is like an insurance policy against dementia, it is hard to know what the future holds. Right now I am writing kid's books. It is a great way to engage the brain. I plan to publish 4 books this fall. hyggestories.ca
