Once again, Eric Jorgensen nails it.

The constant uncertainty about government supports is, in many ways, the hardest part of planning for the future when you are a caregiver of a child with significant disabilities.

Threads of Memory, Threads of Grace

Where nothing is done, yet nothing is undone.

Pause. Everything has been on pause, a hiatus to focus on more pressing matters at the present moment. I’m tired and rundown, but at the same time, I’m filled with energy to move forward, propelled by an unknown force to continue even in the most stressful moments.

If someone had told me what this year would bring, I wouldn’t have envisioned this would be how I’d handle things. It’s been a wild ride watching each moment unfold in my exhaustion. My patience may wane, yet there is a compassion behind the cloud of frustration, for this is life – a deeply mysterious and path-filled with suffering and craving.

I watch the veil of memory become clouded, in disarray, fleeting moments of fantasical, entangled thought dispelled by the light of the past as I guide awareness back to now through memory. I watch the partner’s frustration, fear, and anger arise, unable to cope with the reality of the moment.

My memories are also not precise. They often cloud the moment with judgment, diluting the magic of newness and casting shadows on my experiences, shaped by nostalgia, regret, or longing.

Yet love is unconditional and boundless, swaddling the loss, the hurt, the fear, and the pain, allowing a glimpse of the truth. The bigger picture, the heart of the matter, this entire journey, this life we live in, material trappings fettered away. In our most challenging moments, we discover our strength, understand hope, fully appreciate unconditional love, and know that this journey is rife with meaning.

There are moments when there is no longer separation between the doer and the deed, the actor and the act; it is all one. It is a miraculous dance of souls asleep to the true nature of being bound by karma, awakening slowly one by one, understanding the true nature of being in the meaning behind each moment. Moksha.

“Nothing is done, yet nothing remains undone.”

~Lao Tzu

I let go of the fleeting wisps of memory and touch the sacred, now unfurling with raw emotion, learning not to push away but to feel deeply the nuance, the realness, and the beauty of this life.

Author’s Note
Born from personal experiences with memory loss, aging, and the emotional terrain of familial strain, this reflection explores how we hold space—for others and ourselves—when love is complicated and care is not always gentle.

#Dementia is a global problem. Over 50 million people worldwide currently live with dementia. This number is projected to increase to over 150 million by the year 2050.

It is one of the leading causes of disability and dependency among the older #population worldwide.

Although it is a global issue, low and middle-income countries are disproportionately affected. These countries are home to approximately 60% of dementia patients, and this figure is expected to rise to 71% by 2050. It also has a disproportionate impact on #women, besides the #labor of #caregiving.

We believe that dementia and cognitive decline are normal parts of #aging, but they are NOT.

Currently, there is no cure for dementia. Risk reduction is the best method that we have to address the projected prevalence and incidence of dementia with population #ageing.

There are many online resources to build your knowledge of the major risk factors for dementia and to learn about the #interventions and various initiatives for the #prevention of cognitive impairment.

I will be posting the resources I come across, and likewise please share any resources that you have, so that we can all better educate ourselves about dementia.
