Episode 3
In this episode people with dementia share their thoughts about the future. Many of those taking part already find themselves in a very different place than they were expecting to be when they first had the diagnosis.
They discuss the things that have meaning for them, what they value in their lives at this point, and what they want to hold onto in the years ahead.
There's a raw honesty on display here, some deep fears briefly expressed. There's also a lot of hope, and are strongly held belief that while dementia might be life changing, it need not be life ending.
