"Uplifting Dementia"
Leah Bisiani - MHthSc/Dip Bus/Dementia and Aged Care Consultant
"
Lighting up lives, if only a moment at a time.
“ For the person with dementia,
the most important moment is the present moment,
tomorrow can scarcely be imagined or anticipated
or understood.
Yesterday is, at best, a dim recollection.
People with dementia live in the moment:
life is most fully experienced in the now.
Our supreme challenge as caregivers
is to embrace this attitude of
living in the moment.
It is here we find the best opportunity to experience
a measure of joy and fulfilment
during this caregiving journey.”

"I may not speak but I’m still here,
Feel my pain, see my tears,
All you say I can still hear
PLEASE pass it on.
Just a smile as you pass by,
A little wave that says hi,
Is enough to still my cries?
PLEASE pass it on.
So many walk past every day
Without a word, nil to say,
With heavy heart sometimes I lay
PLEASE pass it on.
So the next time you walk past,
Please make sure a smile is cast,
That loving image will forever last",
