Hello @MatthewB.

My wife has dementia and she, like you, will often say "sorry". I'll say to you what I say to her - "there is no need to say sorry".

You are correct - we all make mistakes.

Hi Matthew, you are not alone in making mistakes or losing things. Just keep on trying your best and don't let it get you down. I hope tomorrow is a better day for you 🌞

humans are good at 'goofing up' , older humans even more so. You are a good man, Matt, and that is most important quality to have

Hi Matthew B,
In my experience it is important never to
blame yourself, because basically it is obvious that you, or any of us, would ever want to goof up on purpose. That is why you have said sorry. Goof ups are like unintended accidents. We don’t blame people for tripping on uneven pavements, it’s the town council’s fault for not having it properly repaired. The same goes for potholes in the road. No one blames a football player for being injured if no one intended harm. The same rule applies to people with dementia for the minor mishaps that, well, just happen. The losses we are suffering are enough without blaming ourselves for something that is dementia, which is an illness that often strikes at random out of the blue, and that can happen to anyone, even Presidents and former Prime Ministers.
Your friend,
David Joseph
