Over the years since Pauline was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, and especially now, during the long days of lockdown, I find myself spending more time writing in my journal, ‘Our journey with Alzheimer’s ‘ and writing poetry in which I can lay bare all my emotions as well as giving vent in a way that uses my little grey cells.
I gather others write ‘Blogs’, which I think are for making public their story whereas mine, while saved on PC is not shared. Some of my rhyming scribbles I do make public here when the mood takes me or I feel others may empathise with or appreciate the subject. Other than that I find that although it helps my loneliness it can be a little depressive. Anyone else do this and what do you get out of it?
