Stand up against dementia stigma this Alzheimer’s Awareness Month
In January 2016, Roy was given a diagnosis of early-stage Alzheimer’s disease and a few years later, a second diagnosis of mixed dementia, including vascular dementia.
January is Alzheimer’s Awareness Month, an opportunity for people to have conversations about dementia. Jana is one of many people across the province who are joining thefor Alzheimer’s Awareness Month, taking a stand against dementia stigma and showing that although dementia is hard, it is possible to live a full and meaningful life. Prior to Roy’s diagnosis, he was very active. He golfed, curled, worked at the pulp mill and even had a DJ business.
As Roy’s dementia has progressed, Jana has learned to lean more into her culture. She takes comfort knowing that Roy’s journey is bringing him closer to their ancestors and she’s brought an Indigenous perspective to the disease to help create a better environment for Roy and others. Through it all, she’s found unexpected gratitude and joy. “Despite all the challenges we’ve faced with the disease, there are so many moments that help shield me from grief.
