3 Strategies for Creating Meaningful Moments in Dementia Care - Positive Approach to Care How to Increase Harmony and Meaning In Your Care Relationship By Valerie Feurich, PAC Team Member Have you ever wondered how to create more meaningful moments for you to share …

Do Not Ask Me to Remember

Do not ask me to remember,
Don't try to make me understand,
Let me rest and know you're with me,
Kiss my cheek and hold my hand.
I'm confused beyond your concept,
I am sad and sick and lost.
All I know is that I need you
To be with me at all cost.
Do not lose your patience with me,
Do not scold or curse or cry.
I can't help the way I'm acting,
Can't be different though I try.
Just remember that I need you,
That the best of me is gone,
Please don't fail to stand beside me,
Love me 'til my life is done.
- Owen Darnell

“ A person isn’t who they are during the last conversation you had with them – they’re who they’ve been throughout your whole relationship.”
