September 4th : Finding Humanity in Dementia With Cindy B
This Sunday, we will try to centre the person with dementia. Because dementia hinders the ability to communicate we never get an accurate report from the sufferer. So often, our understanding comes through the voice of a loved one or caregiver. But we must always remember the humanity of the one receiving the care. As they change through their affliction they appear to be a different person but even if they are a shell of themselves we must honour their humanity.
