Holidays are a time for family members to be together and participate in the many joys of the season. But for some families, having a loved one with memory loss can make the holidays a bit of a challenge.
The holidays can be a tough time for families who have a loved one with memory loss. When families gather, it’s hard not to start conversations with “Remember when…” and everyone chimes in on the memory. Relatives with memory loss might not be able to recall those times and can’t participate in the conversation, feeling left out, isolated and sad. However, there are still ways to reminisce about the past that includes the entire family.
