September 18th 2022 : Dementia in the web of Life

This week we are continuing our theme of Dementia in the Web of Life. We started a couple of weeks ago by centring the humanity of the person suffering from dementia. We did that to centre the person who is suffering the most. And we remembered their humanity. We reminded ourselves that even though our loved one with dementia has changed, even though they are ill, they are still human beings. We will broaden our focus to the community and society. We see the suffering and it is too much for the afflicted and their caregiver. So we respond with compassion. Remember, the Passion comes from the Latin Passio, meaning to suffer. Compassion, therefore, means to co-suffer or “suffer with”. And the web of life responds to the suffering by offering compassion
