Mum’s illness and subsequent death has fundamentally changed my life. Visit the homepage to learn more about the impact Mum’s illness had on our family and the strategies we put in place to cope.
Throughout my journey with Mum I have been struck by key points to remember both when helping someone with dementia to live with the respect and dignity they deserve but also things to hang onto when times seem bleak. Dementia quotes to remind you to ‘Just Be Dementia Friendly’.
Visit the poems page for a selection of thoughtful and moving poems about dementia, which I have written throughout Mum’s illness to help me cope with the feelings of grief and loss.
Hi,
I really like your dementia helpful information. I recently started my own website about the awareness of this disease particularly to help caregivers understand their purpose of taking care of a dementia patient. Can I share some of the information from here.
Hi,
Thanks for the feedback. Yes, I am happy for you to share the information included in the ‘Helpful Information’ section.

I am working on a ward in hospital where over half of our parents have dementia. I have started to raise funds so we can provide more activities for them. I have designed a dementia awareness calendar and desperately need to know if I put quotes in from your pages . Please could you let me know as soon as possible. I am very passionate about this and information can only help to raise awareness of this terrible illness which not only effects the person but the family. I am a dementia champion.
Hi,
I am happy for you to put some of the Just Be Dementia Friendly quotes on your calendar. It would be great if you could make reference to the website somewhere on the calendar as well? Good look with the calendar, I hope you raise lots of money to help improve the lives of those living with dementia.
Regards,
Emma
