Stay Smiling
“Keep plodding on keep breathing and stay smiling.”
Audiobooks
“Listening to an Audiobook while walking or when you can get a bit of time for yourself. It takes your mind off things for a bit.”
Meditation
“Meditation, start off with 5 minutes a day, then if you can build up to 20 minutes a day.”
Don’t Pretend
“Don’t pretend that you are living well when inside your heart is breaking.”
It Can Be Hard
“I would say tell it how it is however hard and sad it is. Becoming a carer for a partner with dementia creeps up on you and you lose parts of them and parts of the life you loved little by little and sometimes suddenly a lot.”
