May I add my tuppence worth and firstly, with apologies to anyone who uses, and is comfortable with, this description. It's when I read about the "Dementia Journey" I am apparently on with my mum. Er, NO! A "journey" is a drive of some distance somewhere, something I've not done for years. Mum too is not on a journey. She is, bluntly, in the queue for death. I am not on a damned journey either. I am in a living nightmare, watching a beautiful lady who has only ever been kind to her family and friends during her life, stuck in bed, every deeply personal need having to be dealt with by other people. How she would hate this were she aware. So no, please never, ever insult and patronize me by saying "I am "on a journey". Thank you for letting me rant.
