Smurfs Log: Arghhh…. Fuck bureaucracy!
* While I am writing a message to the notary to correct two errors to sell my mother's house next week, I just noticed that the mortgage bank had also made mistakes in their documents...
All of this was likely caused by an error made by the Land Registry, which was later corrected after I filed a complaint two months ago…
So I just had to reschedule my tomorrow morning meeting to get things moving again... 😡

#ThrowbackThursday 2022.
I miss Dad very much 😢 ❤️ He's been gone for over 2 years now.
I remember this day well. It was an excellent family bonding day. We had a nice dinner after a short walk together. 3 months after this photo was taken, Dad had to go to ER for a leg muscles issue. He was infected with covid by unmasked hospital staff. It happened shortly after our eugenics government removed public masking mandates. Dad ended up dying from covid related cardiac arrest, the following Summer.I have never forgiven the #BCgovernment or #unmasked #hospital staff for killing my Dad. We had him fully protected with home #caregiving for years. It took less than 2 days in hospital for him to get #covid.
Please #WearAMask. Please don't let my Dad & others who died from getting covid from unmasked people, to be forgotten. It could be you or your family members, next. Covid doesn't care if you believe in it or not - it will end up wrecking your life, one way or another.

For all who strive to live fully with dementia and all who offer support.

I wrote this for #caregivers w/my friend & healthcare expert, Ilyse Veron, a while back. One thing that strikes me as important but not always top of mind is that the person w/#dementia might be having an especially difficult day b/c they are in pain, physical pain. I think we are quick to attribute symptoms to neurological deficits when sometimes the problem is bodily. It can be hard to figure out but worth trying.

Words of reassurance left for an elderly lady with dementia by her daughter. A simple white board left in her sight line in her sitting room. Helped to reduce constant anxious phone calls.

Hilary for Charity is an amazing foundation, dedicated to helping caregivers whose loved ones have #dementia, created by Lauren Miller Rogen and Seth Rogen. I lead a support grief-- "Keeping Each Other Company: #Caregiving and Grief" -- focused on #grief, but there are many other groups. All are free and on Zoom.
If you are sad, angry, confused, lonely, whatever, these groups provide a space to share, listen, and even take a beat for a laugh.

If you watched the poignant special on Bruce Willis's #FTD and Emma Willis's experiences, and thought what Dr. Bruce Miller had to say was illuminating, you might want to check out these 2 books (one which he wrote with me).
Dr. Miller and Dr. Sturm, Mysteries of The Social Brain: Understanding Human Behavior through Science.
Dr. Miller and me, Finding the Right Words: A Story of Literature, Grief, and the Brain.

Sometimes #caregiving is about the chores: medications, money, meals, bathing, and more. But, in the quiet moments between the chores, it also can be about giving and sharing comfort, peace of mind, dignity, #kindness and love.
