“Dementia”most think about loss of memories & that is true. Being the wife of someone living with Dementia I can tell you simple things can become very difficult & cause anxiety.Groceries, being invited to a party, making decisions. My husband is only 61. #YOD #Alzheimers

@Vincehockey That fills my heart you all@must have loved seeing that !

[Robin @Robin07881020]

@lraitt This is so true

Made the mistake of reading this passage while on a zoom call. Just like Lady Gaga I had the same reaction - tears. When you see your loved one doing something that reminds you of their better days, grief can overcome you.

Shout out to the customer service rep at Bell Canada today! He went above and beyond to help make sure we had the things we needed. #CustomerService #alzheimersawarenessmonth

January-Alzheimer’s Awareness Month. Think of those people living with Dementia, their families and care partners.Covid and isolation have made this living with Alzheimer’s more challenging and isolating. Reach out to those you know, check in ...even a text :) @keithbarrett59

[Robin @Robin07881020]

Did you know that people living with Dementia can live and do a lot of things....often for a long time after diagnosis? Can also learn new skills or habits. #youngonsetdementia #independence @keithbarrett59

Gyms and Fitness Centres need to be considered essential. Have been going safely to use City of Ottawa locations. With lockdown I decided to walk outside again for fitness I slipped on black ice and fell (please we need safe healthy options to exercise). #mentalhealth #fitness

[Robin @Robin07881020]

@lraitt Glad to hear that for both of you!

[Robin @Robin07881020]

@keithbarrett59 Christmas can be a hard time of year for people. Meet people where they are at and don’t push for something they can’t give.

It’s important to hear all the truths related to living with Dementia and in particular Young Onset Dementia. Thank you for your honesty and advocacy. Hoping not to have this be the future for my husband and our family.....but know it may very well be our future.

Around 4 am everyday Bruce wakes up and starts babbling, cursing, shining flashlights around the room, turning on the overhead lights, growling etc. Generally disruptive. He won’t stop until I physically get up and go to the kitchen. Makes for a long day for me.

[Robin @Robin07881020]

@lraitt Thank you for your honesty. My husband and I are early on this journey. We met you and Bruce in Calgary. It’s important to show the reality. Thank you for your advocacy.
