It doesn't have to be a long goodbye, it is just a change in life's tapestry, a change in the relationship, different memories, a beautiful time if the change is accepted, appreciated and loved. A long goodbye robs the family members of a person who lives with dementia, many more happy memories, and puts you into a grief status before you need to be!
Dementia is an emotional topic, and we need to change the stereotypical view of people living with dementia, we need to start seeing dementia as the illness that it is and start embracing the joy that can be had, and not what we've lost, if nothing changed in life we would all be running around in nappies!
