My heart goes out to Christine and Jennifer-Rose, as well as all people suffering hardships and diseases.
Her daughter is a very strong, and brilliant daughter, she must have had grown up very very quickly to be that supportive.
Living with dementia, we can only know how painful it is when we are diagnosed.. M heart goes out to anyone who has or knows someone in their community or family that have dementia. I work in Aged Care and can honestly say i really see how communication and involving a resident can change their lives. Dementia can make them feel so isolated, so being around others and being involved in something definitely makes them happier! I love it!
What an amazing video, it's not all about the elderly! Truly inspirational woman and daughter. They say early on sat outside matters is only 5%, I think we all know it's a lot higher. My husband was diagnosed with Alzheimer's at the age of 54. I think we have to try and get the message out there that people are being diagnosed younger
