Grandpa & Lewy – A heartwarming
story to help children
understand and
navigate a loved one’s
Lewy Body dementia.
Let’s Talk About Lewy
LEWY BODY DEMENTIA
When my dad was diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia 18 years ago, we
were told he had two terrible diseases – Parkinson’s and Alzheimers. He
began to display cognitive, sleep and behavioral symptoms that eventually
led to a diagnosis of Lewy Body Dementia (LBD).
In 2003 little was known about LBD and few people had ever heard of it.
For my dad it was being stuck between realities – one where the mind is
lucid, but the body is failing; and the other where the body is strong, but
the mind fails. The mind and body could no longer exist as a cohesive
unit. For me, it was a long, painful goodbye – losing a piece of him every
day for years. My once intelligent, kind dad was struggling to understand
basic concepts and showing behavior changes that can only be imaginable
by someone who has experienced that decline first hand. For my kids, it
was watching Grandpa change physically & mentally. The special bond
they shared was challenged as my children became unsure of one of the
people who loved them most. There were no resources available. We felt
lost trying to navigate it alone. Led me to Inspiring intergenertional
connection to educate, empower and end the stigma of dementia.
