The Estate & Asset Protection Law Firm Owner, Shannon Pawley, Offers Ideas To Help Loved Ones Preserve Memories When A Family Member Is Diagnosed With Dementia

Estate & Asset Protection Law Firm Owner, Shannon Pawley, speaks from experience when offering ideas to help communicate with and preserve family memories and history when a loved one is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or any form of dementia.

DECATUR, GA, August ••, 2022: Shannon Pawley, Owner of The Estate & Asset Protection Law Firm, has posted a new article on the law firm’s website entitledPreserving Family Memories When One Is Diagnosed With Dementia,” in which Ms. Pawley speaks from personal experience.

As Pawley states, “Once a family member has been diagnosed with dementia, caring loved ones tend to wonder how to behave, how to interact with and how to preserve the memories and shared history of the one in cognitive decline.” She continues, “I know through first-hand experience how frustrating this can be for both, the one with dementia and those who care for them. But with a little practice and attention, you can have family time exploring memories and history without frustration or difficulty”.

As Pawley shares, “My mother was diagnosed with dementia many years ago. Over the past couple of decades,” she adds, “expert caregivers have discovered ways of successfully interacting that can help eliminate the frustration and make spending time with your loved one enjoyable while continuing to share memories and make more family history together.”

“Today, we have the luxury of having a video camera in every handheld device,” says Pawley, adding, “so it’s much easier to preserve family memories than ever before.” She also states, “Communicating in a way that doesn’t confuse with your loved one may be a bit more challenging though. You will of necessity have to be much more aware of how you communicate.”

According to Pawley, “It may take a little while to be aware of your own communication style but stick with it. Eventually it will be more natural, and you may find it helps in your communications with everyone in your life, not just the loved one with cognitive decline.” Pawley emphasizes, “Managing your expectations is also important. By that I really mean have no expectations. Don’t expect your loved one to remember everything. And don’t expect them not to remember anything.”
