THE DEMENTIA DIARY - BECAUSE LOVE MATTERS

OUR MOTHER KAY HAS DEMENTIA

In 2021 her son, our brother died from a shockingly brief illness. This sent us into a crippling grief and advanced Kay’s dementia very quickly.

Too much for her and way too much for Stephanie and I as we grappled with our own sadness while trying to keep mum safe.

So Stephanie decided to make some big changes and I went along with her brilliant idea...

We sold everything we owned, Stephanie bought a caravan and I bought a coaster bus, and we embarked on a road trip with our mum.

We didn’t want to put her in home and we knew we needed to be together, so we decided to do something different. Very different.

We wanted to give our gorgeous mum adventures, love & happiness while she could still enjoy it all and doing it while she could remember who we were.

This is a diary of our journey together and is our reflections on, and experiences of, living with someone with dementia.

Our biggest concern? Making sure mum was safe, happy and healthy.

We spent eighteen months together - The Travelling Brown Girls - and it was the most loving, learning, and healing time of our lives.
