Join Patricia Worby in the shop to hear her personal experience and the spiritual lessons she learnt from dementia.
"Dementia is not the End of the World! It can be managed so that it is a time of humility and grace. Learn from my experience with my mother.
After my mother died last year, I had the idea to use my mother’s experience to teach you the truth of what to expect and that, with simple preparation and understanding, you can make life easier on yourself and your loved one as they go through this life transition.
With extracts of my mum’s diaries and my own experiences interwoven, I cover 9 Lessons I learned from dementia. Truthfully, it’s not all doom and gloom. There are simple things you can do to improve the quality of life for those in the early to late stages of dementia and look after your own mental health too.
In this talk I will read extracts of the book and discuss some of the lessons I learned from caring for mum and some of her messages to me after she had gone. She told me 'we're going to write a book together'. This is that book. "
Dr Patricia Worby is Founder of Alchemy Therapies, an award-winning Somatic Trauma therapist and a published author. The Dementia Diaries is a deeply personal account from the perspective of a daughter struggling to deal with the changes that dementia brings in her mother.
