Creating Moments of Joy: A Journal for Caregivers, Fourth Edition

“Everything is in the process of being forgotten But who we are – who we have been in  personality, mood and character- persists much longer.  David Dodson Gray p.18

A very insightful quote about our true nature in this wonderful book by Jolene Brackey.  Here, early in the book, she is talking about the characteristic reversion in age behaviours of many Alzheimer’s patients. She then goes on to discuss the nature and characteristics of dementia and provides many activities and techniques that allow us to joyfully relate to the Alzheimer’s patient.
