Supporting a Person With Dementia During a Bereavement

Like anyone, a person with dementia may respond to bereavement in a range of ways. However, difficulties with thinking and reasoning may affect how they understand and process the bereavement.

This talk will explore how a bereavement may impact a person living with dementia, including how to tell someone about a bereavement; how to spot the signs of grief and support someone; and changes to someone's support and care arrangements if someone close to them dies.

Led by Jude Pinder, Chief Operating Officer at The Filo Project (A not-for-profit organisation which provides small group care days for people with early to moderate dementia and other challenges of older age.)

This event is suitable to all aged 18+. Tickets are free, but donations towards our charity Libraries Unlimited on the day are gratefully received.
