In 2012 I flew across the world to check on my mother. A 3 month return ticket turned into 4.5 years of care and support I certainly was not ready for. She had multiple ailments with vascular dementia being one. Now my neighbour has told me his wife has recently been diagnosed with Alzheimers. They are very afraid as it is prominent in her family. She has not lived with the list of 9. Perhaps mindfulness practice was missing but with a loving family holding her tight she is a lucky one. I'm back to looking at this as it also runs in my mother's family. I need to do more for prevention but at nearly 70 I feel the weight of this as my future a big possibility, but without the husband declaring he will hold me up forever. Even with the startlingly large statistics there is very little in IS and generally it's not talked about. I'm enjoying your talks.

Thank you so much for sharing this! Dementia runs in my family, so far, at 78 , I have no signs of it yet. But now my husband has had dementia for 5 years and currently lives in a care home. This is at times very sad and stressful for me, so I do meditation, walking and Qigong. Thank you so much for sharing this!
