Saw her in person this week end she is excellent. Ordered several DVD's.
ReplyDeleteIf you have the chance to see her in person it is well worth it.
I absolutely love this lady. My husband is three years on in his mixed altziemers dementia, and even after all this time I have learned a lot from her. She puts it so clearly. Pig of an illness. So sad for everyone concerned
ReplyDeletewonderful. i want all my mama's care givers to see this and i want to see so much more. thank you teepa snow
ReplyDeleteGreat approach--I would think that using the cue: "Tell Me About It" would work well in our wider interactions. The reality is that we all want to be heard.
