"We've learnt to work together, for Mum" | Aqib and Shahbanu’s story
Siblings Aqib and Shahbanu care for their mum, Shama, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease when she was 70 years old.
The years following have been a steep learning curve. They have had to adopt new ways to interact with their mum. They've realised it's not always helpful to contradict her when she makes mistakes or forgets things. And they're careful not to let her feel shame over those things; or let those moments erode the trust that exists between them.
This episode explores the ways dementia can test family dynamics, the importance of communication and how you can continually create moments of joy.
