Acceptance Living With Dementia
Michael Booth is a person living with dementia, specifically a rare type called diffuse atrophy dementia. Born in England and raised in South Africa, he returned to England about twenty years ago. He was a carer for his mother, and then received a young-onset diagnosis of his own. This course is his guidance on facing the unknown, protecting relationships, and finding purpose again. He talks about giving yourself and your family room to take the news in, staying a loved one first and a carer second, and keeping a life that is still yours.
