"I was so afraid, so afraid, and I cried and shouted…. I was certainly very afraid… I was convinced that they were going to kill me."

Dear Parents. Please talk to your children about suicide. My son had a friend who was thinking about killing himself last night and was texting him, he didn't know what to say to his friend and asked me to navigate the situation. By the end of our chat his friend was feeling better. Check up on your kids and make sure they're okay and that their friends are okay.

Ppl living w later stage #dementia will only retreat further if not surrounded by ‘loads of opportunities to reminisce, touch, feel, carry objects & be engaged in domestic living.’ But this requires a move away from task-based care to 1 where #FeelingsMatterMost. @MeaningfulCareM
