I am again including the program "Dancing with Dementia." A very interesting segment of the program takes place at 43:40 with a Virtual Reality Headset which shows what the world looks like to people with Dementia/Alzheimer's. Definitely worth the watch!

Dancing With Dementia
This program from Australia was shared with me by my blogger friend Kate Swaffer. She was one of the participants. The program is an hour long (I skipped around) but well worth the watching. It will give you some perspective on what Dementia/Alzheimer's is like from the person with the diagnosis as well as some expert help and a professional look at the disease.
Meeting and reading Kate's blog has helped me a lot to understand Dementia/Alzheimer's from the other person's point of view. As mentioned in a previous blog, Gregory never was able to share what it was like to be going through what he was going through. I could tell from knowing him in our 40+ relationship, from my day to day observations, and from my background in educations and psychology not to mention life in general.
Thanks Kate:
