No luck needed I found a link and a gap. I don't know where the care of PWD will end up in the next few years but I only hope that as each of us including the long standing fighters such as Dawn Brooker in the end bring some significant change to a system that is beyond broken for PWD - the next few years will see more researchers looking at more fundamental failures in dementia care ?Good luck @Palerider
Funny you should say that as thats what I am doing, I have decided to slow down I still have plenty of time and when you only have a thousand words to sell something it needs some real articulation....Good luck with all that @Palerider. I write fiction not properly argued dissertations, but when I'm stuck I find just writing anything that vaguely takes me where I want to go is better than nothing. It then gives me something to go back and work on.
Yes its a good performance, I have days where I just listen to one piece after the next and then wonder where the day has goneTotally beautiful. One of my favourite hymns. My friend, who is a classically trained tenor, sang it at the funeral of a close friend of his.
Ok here we go my mum loved gospel ---so sing along
Wishing you a Merry Christmas . Let’s hope things are better next year.?Today I braved the local supermarket, which at this time of the year after the last few years I tend to avoid now -I won't be returning in a hurry! Today no xmas music -there are only so many times I can hear the same old blasting out in the fresh meats sectionand besides its not Christmas yet -call me traditonal but I love Christmas music, but not weeks and weeks before it is supposed to be listened to.
Care home closed to visiting as Covid strikes again -its looking like this might be extended over the xmas period, meanwhile plan A seems to moving ever slowly along the alphabet -today C was mentioned (or was that yesterday)....er or have we hit plan Z already??
As another year draws closer to Christmas I remember where I was last year, visiting my poor sister with not a chance despite all of the medical advances in cancer treatment. It gets harder but I hope in time it will become easier again and one day in the future how I used to feel about Christmas might return, even though my family are gone and my brother has clearly cast me and mum into exhile.
I am all for free speech and self opinion this is the human condition, but I am not for inaccurate and misleading advice, misrepresentation of the facts or will I tolerate mid family abuse of which I have been subjected to myself. All opinions should be laid bare, truthful accounts and not clouded by misinformed opinion the latter of which has become rife on TP of late.i think you belong here as much as anyone else. i always read what you have to say as its valid. i think newer members need your experiences and another perspective on how to cope or better ways to handle a situation
