THE DEMENTIA DIARY

In 2021 my sister Stephanie and I embarked on a road trip across Australia with our mother Kay who had dementia. We didn’t want to put her in a home so decided to do something different. Very different. We wanted to give her adventures, love and happiness while she could still enjoy it all. This is a diary of our journey together and a story of our experience with dementia and the ways we dealt with the ever-changing world dementia brings. It is also a story of love, family, joy and community. Please check out the video of some our travels. PS: That's our mum singing in the video x

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS HAVE TO SAY

“The Dementia Diary taps into people’s emotions. It’s very honest raw in some parts but the girls love their mother shines through. The Dementia Diary provides firsthand experience of caring for a loved one with dementia and the insights will be very helpful for other carers and family members looking after their loved ones living with dementia.”

Ita Buttrose AC OBE

“Beautifully presented, bringing a gentle reality of the loving and caring of an aging parent facing dementia. The laughs, the tears, the frustration, the fear, all beautifully shared. ”

Val Cusack

“A window into the reality of living with a loved one with dementia. Beautifully told and gut wrenchingly honest, this little book holds dear the ethos that love matters and this is surely a message the world needs to hear.”
