📣 Voices of HOPE: Meet Our Group Leaders 💜

Throughout July, we’re sharing the real stories that shape HOPE Dementia Support—and today, we’re honored to spotlight one of the compassionate leaders behind our support groups.

Whether it’s a quiet conversation or a moment of shared laughter, our group leaders help create safe, welcoming spaces where care partners and persons living with dementia feel supported and empowered.

🫶 Support groups are more than meetings. They’re lifelines.

Whether or not you are in health or senior care, or are a family or professional caregiver, self care is vital.

How do you practice it? Some people:

• Go for a walk
• Get a massage
• Do yoga or meditation
• Exercise or play a sport
• Have coffee with friend(s)
• Read a book
• Listen to music

Along with some of those, I like to “escape” to a favorite scenic and relaxing place.

I am on Vancouver Island, BC again. I love the relative quiet, the beauty of the area, and the friendly people. I am not only volunteering, networking, and socializing, but also walking along the endless parks, rivers, and lakes, and (of course) playing pickleball. And, beyond a vacation, living among and like the locals. It is a favorite way to relax and recharge in my version of an island paradise.

Yes, I continue to advise and support caregivers. I am still available for consultation and facilitating my support groups and memory cafe. I also continue my other volunteer work virtually. I can still be reached by phone, email, text, and Zoom…just not in person. (See below for contacting me).

I look forward to hearing from or reconnecting with many of you in the months to come. Let me know how you practice self-care or how I can support you.

That’s my passion.

Caring Regards,

I loved this. Since my mother had Alzheimer’s, I was surprised at the end of this video.

Many people present well in public, regardless of what they are going through.

At times, it can be obvious when someone is struggling to cope. But sometimes the signs are harder to spot. Check in on those around you. ...

This is beautiful and stirring. At the new Canadian cabinet swear-in, this First Nation woman sings O Canada in English, French, and her native languages. Such a diverse, rich culture. ❤️🇨🇦

Do you play pickleball, the fastest growing sport? I do!

Do you know someone who needs mental, physical, and social activity?

Believe me, even players who are cognitively normal (including me) have these momentary lapses! Ask them! We all laugh at ourselves. 😂

How many pickleball players does it take to remember the score, etc? 🤷🏻‍♂️
