Intimacy

"How can I help your day be more wonderful?" Marshall Rosenberg.

One of the things perhaps most missed in living with dementia is intimacy, especially emotional intimacy. So, how can we remain intimate? There are creative ways we can remain intimate with the person who has dementia, and we can also create intimacy within our network of support. I am not talking of sexual intimacy; I am talking about love and support and the broader definitions of intimacy. We can look for authenticity and loving connection in any and every encounter.
