One’s dignity may be assaulted, vandalized and cruelly mocked,
But it can never be taken away unless it is surrendered. (Michael J. Fox)

Amen to that Michael. I have dementia. Stay strong x
Thank you for this quote. Most of my siblings accused me of taking my father’s dignity away when I placed him in memory care after his frontotemporal dementia would not allow him to remain in independent living. Those siblings insisted nothing was wrong, and all he needed was “more stimulation”. On the night he died, the staff came into his room with glasses of Coke, my dad’s favorite drink, and said, “Let’s toast to Paul. He never lost his dignity.” I still well-up every time I remember their thoughtfulness and how I did the best I could in a difficult situation.
