We all have certain ways we adjust and cope with change. A diagnosis of dementia can bring big change to your life and to the relationship you have with the person with dementia. Although some of the change that comes with a diagnosis of dementia will be painful, if we continue to stay open to the possibilities of change, we might begin to see what it can also add to our life rather than just experiencing what we see it taking away. This is not to underestimate the impacts of a diagnosis of dementia but to ensure that all facets of the journey can be acknowledged.
