The flower of oblivion - a photo on Flickriver

“Flowers don't tell, they show.” — Stephanie Skeem. Just like dementia.

"She disappeared from life slowly. Fading like a flower. Like a flower falling, failing, withering, petal by petal. Like a stain that takes its time to wear off" — Rakhee.

Quand tout fout le camp
Quand tout est décevant
Quand rien n'est à sa place
Pas même moi

Quand tout me lasse
Quand tout est dégueulasse
Quand rien ne vaut la peine
Pas même moi

Je pense aux fleurs
Qui sont parfaites
Qui n'ont pas d'autre rôle que de l'être
Je pense aux fleurs
Et c'est bête.

None of us wants to be reminded that dementia is random, relentless, and frighteningly common. I think everyone knows someone who's battling with dementia or caring for a relative affected by it.

“The reality of this disease is that there’s no remission, there’s no stopping it, there’s no slowing it down, there’s no cure and there are no survivors.” — Suzanne Tackett.
"The disease might hide the person underneath, but there’s still a person in there who needs your love and attention.” — Jamie Calandriello.
