Dementia grandma's heroism

1 day agoEdited to

... Read more私の祖母も認知症を患っていますが、同じ話を何度も繰り返すことはよくあります。その中でも「昔はどこかの大地主の娘だった」「看護学校の受験で短い作文を書いて高評価を得た」など、祖母が話す武勇伝はリアルと空想が混ざり合い、とてもおもしろいものです。 認知症の方は記憶のタイムラインがバラバラで、話の前後が飛んだり、同じ話を繰り返したりしがちですが、その話し方に独特の味わいがあり、聞き手を惹きつけます。私も祖母の話を聞いていると、彼女自身がその時代を生きていたかのような情景が浮かび、温かい気持ちになります。 特に看護学校の受験エピソードは印象的で、独学で問題を解いて最後の作文に戸惑いながらもシンプルに「看護師になりたい」と書いた話は、祖母の前向きな姿勢やユーモラスな人柄を表しています。このような話は、認知症の方の個性や人生経験が見える貴重な宝物のように感じます。 また、認知症の会話では相手が理解しやすいように聞き手も工夫が必要です。祖母の話のループを止めるために話題を変えたり、用事を思い出させたりする方法を私も学びました。大切なのは否定せず共感して受け止めることです。 認知症の家族と交流すると、独特のコミュニケーションの大切さに気づきます。これからも祖母の武勇伝を楽しみながら、大切な思い出を共有していきたいです。

When my parents were the happiest. Having all of us together celebrating their special days. Mom is struggling with her depression and dementia. She misses her sweetheart and is deeply heartbroken. We know it’s not easy for her to let go. Miss seeing her smile and happy like this. 😔

Dementia & Dysphagia - They are inherently linked
Dementia doesn’t just change memory. It changes swallowing. ✔ Slower oral processing ✔ Delayed swallow trigger ✔ Reduced airway protection ✔ Increased silent aspiration risk Many eating “behaviors” are actually physiologic. And the difference matters. #slp #dysphagia #swallowin
