She Was My Wonderful Everything….

Ronnie used to care for his late wife Dolly and found Sage House a life saver when going through their dementia journey.

“I always wanted to do my best for her, but I sometimes didn’t know how.
I didn’t know why she was jealous when I kissed our daughter’s brow.
It was so upsetting, as she was still so beautiful to me
But the dementia was getting worse, she wasn’t like she used to be

I mourned the loss of our old life, the wonderful holidays and social life
But those just became cherished memories, cherished memories with my beloved wife
Sage House helped me to care for Dolly which delayed her having to go into a home.
Without their support and help, I simply couldn’t have done it alone.

The Day Break service was a total life saver for me.
I was so utterly exhausted mentally and physically.
I knew that one day she would forget who I was, and that was terribly sad.
But the help and care from Dementia Support made our journey not so bad.

She was a wonderful mother, a wonderful grandmother, a wonderful wife.
My wonderful everything”.
