Episode 15 of the Seagrove Sessions is something a little different. It is an interview with a loved one of one of our members at The Seagrove Centre.
Kathleen tells us about being a carer, not only for her husband Ronnie, but before him her mother. It is a candid, pragmatic and honest account of looking after a partner who is on their dementia journey. You hear about the trials, tribulations, and practicalities of being a carer. About the guilt and frustrations. You will also hear about the importance of humour, of being adaptable and being kind to yourself.
The recording was made in June 2023. We are very sad to relate that Kathleen passed away a week ago. It was a privilege to have interviewed Kathleen and we will all miss her at Seagrove. We feel that her wisdom and practical experience was invaluable and will resonate with so many loved ones and carers of those who have dementia.
