💜 Dementia: What to Say vs What NOT to Say

Our words can hurt or heal. When someone repeats a story, it's not to annoy you — it's because their memory is fading, but their need for love is not.

❌ Instead of "You already told me that"
✅ Try "Tell me again, I love hearing your stories"
Small changes in words bring peace for both of you.
