Key words, familiar moments, music - these little things can spark something and help stimulate the brain.

My mum has a sweetie drawer and a sweetie jar, so she was well stocked. We watched a movie, and she endured my singing 😂

[Graeme Sutherland @Graemes91]

I got told, “Don’t ask questions,” or “Don’t say this or that.” But over the years, I’ve learned and adapted the way I speak to my mum. What I’ve realised is that every person with dementia is different. (P1)

and communicating.

You know your loved one better than anyone, so keep the conversation going. Even if they don’t respond, they are listening. And yes, those silent moments can hurt sometimes, but every now and then you’ll see them shine through.

[Graeme Sutherland @Graemes91]

We need more awareness and help when it comes to #alzheimers , not silence. This is part of the problem. The amount of good that’s been done has been disregarded. We know our mum better than anyone. This is becoming a crisis , there is no cure. Changes need to be made and fast.

[Graeme Sutherland @Graemes91]

@Pippisell @JennyJones1313 Yeah my sister was on the frontline and they had no equipment,nothing fitted totally overwhelmed. Really sad watching this knowing they turned up risking it all with little to no thanks whilst everyone else was making banana bread and given wrong advice to go into bubbles . Mad

[Graeme Sutherland @Graemes91]

Watching #BREATHTAKING and you forget how scary the pandemic was, especially at the beginning! The panic, the unknown and being unprepared. What the hospital staff had to deal with is tragic, yet people seem to have forgot what the they dealt with, they should be given mp wages

Giving my mum with Alzheimer’s a reborn doll , and you’ll see it makes a difference !

@graemes91 didn’t get popular on TikTok through pranks or lip-syncing videos, but by documenting his family’s journey with Alzheimer’s.
