Kate Swaffer was just 49 years old when she was diagnosed with a form of younger onset dementia. In this book, she offers first-hand insight into that experience, sounding a clarion call for change in how we ensure a better quality of life for people with dementia. Kate describes vividly her experiences, exploring the effects of memory difficulties, loss of independence, leaving long-term employment, the impact on her teenage sons, and the enormous impact of the diagnosis on her sense of self. Kate’s powerful words will challenge misconceptions about dementia, and open our eyes to new ways of supporting people with the diagnosis.
A must read for people with dementia and their families as well as for professionals and carers.
