The project so far………..
My Mum had dementia and couldn’t remember me and just hugged me and said I was a lovely girl.
My Dad had dementia and used to comment that my Mum was a good woman and always helped him but he didn’t know who she was until a week before he died when he referred to her as ‘my lovely wife’.
