Dementia and End of Life Choices booklet

ByJDCteam

The Scottish Dementia Alumni, a group of campaigning friends in Scotland who each have a diagnosis of dementia, have published their latest booklet ‘Dementia and End of Life Choices’. 

The Scottish Dementia Alumni says of their new publication: 

“This booklet was an emotional creation, as we all needed to confront challenging concepts and our own personal bereavements in order to make this publication. Nobody found it easy. We hope that the booklet is helpful and comforting to all who read it.” 

The booklet is available as a digital pdf download here: https://scottishdementiaalumni.uk/2024/02/05/dementia-and-end-of-life-choices/. It is also available for free on Apple Books and will have a short print run by the end of February 2024.
