11. Voice of Person with Dementia
Even though I have dementia, the many things I
can no longer do are also accompanied by many
things I can do.
Having dementia has led to more inconveniences,
but this does not necessarily mean I am unhappy.
Even though I have dementia, I have introduced
ways to be creative in my lifestyle without giving
in to despair and continue living with hope.
Even though I have dementia, I have not given up
on living.
