@ThuliMadonsela3 On behalf of ADASA, thank you for adding your voice to this very important conversation. You reminded us that dementia is not simply a medical diagnosis. It touches identity, family, relationships, independence, planning, dignity — and the way we choose to care for one another.
A key part of my keynote message at ADASA’s Memories Matter High Tea yesterday, was: “When the mind fractures and memories fade, love becomes our ultimate sanctuary.
To care for a soul navigating the fog of dementia requires three sacred things:
A compassion that sees past the confusion,
A commitment that stands unwavering in the quiet storms, and
A courage to trust that while the intellect may falter, the spirit remains whole.
We are not just keepers of what is lost; we are the creators of what can still be felt. Because even when the mind cannot find the memory, the soul always remembers the love." I also quoted a poignant speech by Alice in the movie “Still Alice” #Love #Memories #Dementia #Alzheimers #Justice

Judge Nomonde Mngqibisa-Thusi declared sections of the Births and Deaths Registration Act, which deems a foetus less than 26 weeks to be “medical waste”, unconstitutional. https://t.co/tjT5X6hwqa
Ek is oorstelp om te kan berig dat Sonja Smith en Renaldi Ingram van #VoiceOfTheUnbornBaby hul saak in die hoë hof gewen het. Dit beteken ouerpare wat baba's voor 26 weke aan die dood afstaan nou hul baba's wettiglik kan begrawe. Wel gedaan @SonjaSmithFG !
