I commented yesterday very positively on part one of your dementia series since I couldn’t find part two I listened to this today and was equally pleased with that. I have a friend who’s 93 and I am 81 and I visit her at least weekly now as she is under the care of her family in her home they take turns living with her for a month at a time. Yes, I believe this is a myth about them being totally unhappy she smiles. She is just like a kid who’s having a birthday party whenever I arrived for a visit, always eager to hug and kiss. I believe she and others like her are out of the realm of what we call “ego“ in my studies in a course in miracles. I think it is just a closure step to returning home. to joy and peace.

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.
