"Even if our awareness of being hurtful comes years after delivering the hurt, the smallest word or gesture -- owning what we've done -- can reopen the heart." Mark Nepo
Face it. Sometimes we hurt other people, mostly unintentionally, but we hurt them nevertheless. The best solution is to make amends. Say we are sorry and - if possible - repair whatever damage we have done. Saying we are sorry is not really enough. It is important to also take action for repair.

This blog is written to provide information and support to persons who are providing care for someone with dementia. A first indicator of dementia is when someone has trouble doing a task once familiar and easy for them. If you have begun to be concerned about someone's memory or cognitive processing, help the person receive a physical exam, to include lab work, and an appointment with a neuropsychologist for an evaluation of memory and cognitive processing.
