Daughter’s journey whose Dad succumbed
to an aggressive form of dementia, difficulty
in getting a confirmed diagnosis and lack of
specialised support to enable him to live well at
home with Dementia as the disease progressed.
How could we issue for people with Dementia
and their families approaching end of life in a
person-centred way. The impact of Dementia on
3 generations of family.
A Daughter’s Mental Health History, early stage
Menopause, and fears of Dementia leading to an
aborted suicide attempt, subsequent recovery
generating ‘Hope’ for people ‘living with’ or ‘at
risk’ of Dementia, through challenging attitudes
to Mental health issues, increasing awareness
of ‘self- care’ techniques including Tantra Yoga
practice which is thousands of years old, the
original ‘mind, body & spiritual practice’.
Buddha was asked, “What have you gained from
meditation?” He replied, “Nothing!”, however
Buddha said, “let me tell you what I lost: Anger,
Anxiety, Depression, Insecurity, Fear of Old Age
and Death.”
