A beautiful poem by one of our supporters, Emma Barraclough. Emma’s interest in creating awareness of dementia comes from first-hand experience. Until 18 month ago, Emma’s granddad was a lively life and soul of the community, who was independent and living on his own. This was until he had a stroke that left him with dementia. Emma’s Granddad now lives in a care home and sadly his dementia has got worse and his mental health has deteriorated rapidly, while his physical health is fine. Emma can’t stress how soul destroying this has been for the family. One day hes smiley and chatty and the next hes screaming and lashing out. Dementia is a cruel illness that there is no cure, but Emma feels passionately that people need to be made more aware. Emma recently wrote a poem called “Dear Grandad. We would like to share Emma’s poem with you. Thank you, Emma Barraclough
