Dementia: Living in the Memories of God

Dementia: Living in the Memories of God
Dementia is one of the most feared diseases in Western society today. Some have even gone so far as to suggest euthanasia as a solution to the perceived indignity of memory loss and the disorientation that accompanies it. In this book John Swinton develops a practical theology of dementia for caregivers, people with dementia, ministers, hospital chaplains, and medical practitioners as he explores two primary questions:
- Who am I when I've forgotten who I am?
- What does it mean to love God and be loved by God when I have forgotten who God is?
