How Zikra can help dementia sufferers.

Dementia affects millions of people across the world. One of its defining symptoms is memory loss – process which can happen at different speeds, but is always an agonizing process for the sufferer and those close to them. One way of helping to keep memories alive for longer is to record memories in the form of an autobiography. This process can be a wonderful therapy for a dementia sufferer - a great way to help them feel comfortable and secure in knowing who they are and where they have come from.

Although caregivers try to provide a constant link between the past and the present, it can be very challenging to answer the same questions over and over again, for both you and your loved one. A Zikra autobiography can help, by providing mementos, photos, and stories to remind your loved one about who they are, who their family is, and what has happened in their lives. These life story books are a tangible connection to the past for Dementia patients.

As they flip through these thick, glossy pages, they are immediately connected to their personal history and life stories! Life story books are both a memory aide for your loved one suffering from Dementia but even better, a keepsake your family will cherish forever!
