A new English translation of the Dutch book "How do I live with dementia?" ("Hoe leef ik met dementie?") is now available. This book brings together the experiences, insights, and life wisdom shared by those who know dementia from the inside out. The book shows the reader how everything changes — daily activities, relationships, sense of self, and how others see you. Jacoba Huizenga explored these changes through research done with people who have dementia. She was the first in the Netherlands to bring together a group of people with dementia as co-researchers. They call themselves Brain Power and include Gerda Van Tongerloo, Vice-Chair of the European Working Group of People with Dementia (EWGPWD). Brain Power took the initiative to create this book, to make the findings from the research project Everyday Life with Dementia accessible to a wider audience — especially to people living with dementia, as well as their partners, families, friends, and close communities. It’s also meant for professionals like case managers, general practitioners, and others in care and support roles. Download:
