My MIL- 77 - now with Alzheimer's for more than 10 years - can recognise only people in photos that were taken from around the 1950's and before.
I have managed to get a selection of photos from one of her relatives from this time in her life and they include all her brothers and sisters, her old family home etc. and I have been uploading them and photo-shopping all the tears and creases out and I'm going to stick them into a scrapbook for her. I'm hoping it might trigger off some memories and give us something to talk about.
Just wondering whether anyone else has had much success from this type of thing?
Did it work, or was it an abject failure? Suppose I'm just preparing myself to face the fact that all my hard work may be for nothing
