Dementia Grandma 👵 Part 2

# grandma 　# dementia

6/4 Edited to

認知症のおばあちゃんと接する中で、私自身が感じた大切なことは、コミュニケーションの取り方を工夫することです。例えば、話がかみ合わないこともありますが、ゆっくりと話すことや、目を見て優しく声をかけることで、安心感を与えられます。また、おばあちゃんが手を触れてくるなど、触れ合いを大切にすることもつながりを深めるポイントです。認知症の進行は個人差がありますが、家族が彼女の今を受け入れ、変わらぬ愛情を示すことがより良い関係を築く鍵となります。写真の中にある「立派な手」や「ひまご楽しみに」という言葉からも、おばあちゃんの愛情深さや家族への想いが伝わってきますね。私の体験では、認知症があるからこそ、普段の何気ない日常のやり取りや小さな変化に感動を覚えます。泣いた日のことや、旦那さんの一言のように、ふとした瞬間に心が揺さぶられることもありますが、それも家族で共有しながら支え合っていくことが大切です。このような経験を通じて、認知症への理解と家族の絆の尊さを改めて実感しました。
