Geology is a useful metaphor for dementia – the bed rock is the oldest and longest lasting memories, gradually reducing through substrate to the surface – the newest memories are the first to disappear.
Dementia
My Sister's Brain
Understanding the cause of Alzheimer's and the impact of dementia helps me deal with the devastating loss of my sisters memory. I treasure every moment I manage to have with her considering she is in Australia. The video of the seemingly silent storm was taken when we watched it together from Cowes in Australia on my last visit and was such a strong visual metaphor for this terrible disease.
