Even in congnitive decline, the neural processes of dreaming bring important benefits for regulating the emotions and creativity. One certain client named Martha of the Veranda in Gallatin, TN, is mentioned both in this episode and Mary Anne Oglesby-Sutherly's book. Depicting a story in grandiose detail, Martha describes her loved one coming home on Christmas Eve. She eloquently shares the sound of the train whistle in the distance. Much of the story isn't true, but it goes to show you that the incredible detail of a brain suffering with dementia can dream up amazing colorful stories.
This episode 44 is also dedicated to Ricky, who just after recording, passed on to his eternal home.
Making memories with your loved ones is better than any extravagant pricey gift. Keep it simple. Find a new normal. Take them where their heart is. Make even the slightest little thing special. This is the basis of relationship-based care, especially during the holidays.
Mary Anne and host, Sue Duffield, share their way of understanding what it takes to minister to a population of caregivers for the elderly and those with dementia. Our best gift to them is a voice of advocacy.
