Kirsty Redford on loving someone through the challenges of dementia (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There are some experiences in life that belong to millions of families, yet until they arrive at your own door, it is difficult to truly understand what they feel like. I am fortunate that Alzheimer's has not touched my immediate family, but I have close friends who have watched someone they love live with dementia. I have seen enough to understand that it never affects just one person. Partners, children, grandchildren, friends and carers can all find themselves learning a new way of loving som

As we get older, there are certain things we wish weren’t part of growing up. Sadly, for far too many of us, one of them is knowing somebody who didn’t reach out, couldn’t see another way through, or isn’t here today. A friend. A relative. Someone we went to school with.

Kirsty Redford on why moments of awe can be so good for our well-being (opens the original)

Families had brought blankets, people were sharing eclipse glasses and some had arrived with the funniest homemade contraptions they'd created to try to see it safely. What struck me most was how quickly strangers began helping one another. Someone had spare glasses, somebody else knew what time to look and conversations were happening everywhere.
