Distant Shores - Remembering is a book of poems inspired by my journey with my Mum's Dementia and includes sad times, funny times and lots of memories along the way.

Since 2016, when I started writing poetry about my journey with Dementia, I have come to realise that poetry is not only extremely cathartic, but truly like 'chicken soup for the soul'. Poetry allows us to connect with the world around us and express ourselves in a unique way that can be both soothing and healing.

My journey with Dementia from start to finish, was full of such mixed emotions, tears and laughter, and I soon realised the importance of a sense of humour! Whilst written from a personal perspective, I hope that anyone who has been affected by dementia, whether as a loved one, friend or carer will be able to identify in some way with each poem.

The path for all concerned when a loved one is diagnosed with this devastating disease, is extremely difficult and challenging. In many cases, as I experienced firsthand, losing your loved one, even though the person is still here, can be the hardest part - but please know if you are reading this that you are not alone!
