Description:
Staying Happy with Dementia; a Carer's Loving Account ***** After being happily married for forty years, Dini Kalkman suffers a stroke and is subsequently diagnosed with vascular dementia. Through the eyes of her husband Sybren, you see how they courageously try to continue their lives as they were, to continue doing the things they enjoy and how they deal with the increasing limitations caused by dementia. Sybren sees his wife's uncertainty, disorientation and mood swings, and he is certain that she will be happiest if she stays at home as long as possible. He takes on the caregiving, gradually recruiting more and more helpers. They face surprises and challenges every day, but they continue to search for the joy of life. And with that attitude, a lot turns out to be possible. Sybren Kalkman describes that process, which ends after 18 years when Dini dies, with lightness and humour. It is a book full of hope. An educational book, too, because Kalkman gives his vision of elderly care in the future in an appendix. But above all, it is one big declaration of love that will leave no reader untouched.
