Dementia is a brain disease that causes a long-term and often gradual decrease in the ability to think and remember.
This disease affects the person’s daily routine, and also heartbreaking for people around them as they watch their loved one gradually lose the vital parts of their personality and their relationship memories.
Anne Duncan’s beloved husband Bill is surviving from dementia for the last 9 years and has ceased to recognize her as his wife. Anne is living with him and recently received the most wonderful surprise. He asked her to marry him!
Bill forgot his past and he is fully enjoying the present, and the love that so clearly resides deep in his heart has made itself apparent again! His surprise to his wife shows that true love cannot disappear, and will always find a way to express itself no matter what obstacles lie in its path.
A person with dementia can live a happy life with love, care, patience, and understanding. Their second wedding has touched them both and given them a wonderful and unexpected gift of happiness.
Anne told the South West News Service that dancing is a shared love for the smitten couple, something that nurtures their bond and keeps them closer together than ever.
“It can be difficult adjusting to life with dementia for both the sufferer and their partner, and we’re always looking for ways to still enjoy ourselves,” she said. “We attended a friend’s party last year, and as Bill and I took to the dance floor, it was like all of our troubles melted away.”
“Dancing together helped us forget dementia for that moment, and it was like my old husband was back in my arms, it was beautiful.”
“We knew it could help other people in similar situations and give them a chance to escape their worries, so we set up a dementia-friendly disco and it’s been a real success.”
