Another Poem of the Week!

When Kerry was undertaking her Nutrition Pathway she came up with this to describe her feelings about dementia. We think it’s rather good.

Dementia is my illness which I can’t control.

Eat with me and reminisce with me.

Maintaining my independence is a problem.

Everyday activities are a struggle.

No one knows what I’m going to forget next.

Teatime is my favourite meal, something savoury and something sweet.

I’m dying inside and my mind has gone, but I’m still that loving person who was your mum.

All I know is that this illness is going to get worse. So please be patient with me until the end.

Kerry Taylor
