Because | Before We Forget: Share your stories about dementia

http://beforeweforget.org/your-stories/2012/02/chris-lim-mu-yao

You should like us on Facebook now. Chris Lim Mu Yao. I think we all have things which are sentimental to all of us. Because you are different from my memory – which contains the little, though wholesome, fragments of what you are and who you once were. Because I am piecing together the extremes of this reality and your past paradise. Because you are changing from the you I used to know. Because I’m still finding new ways to love you every single day. Thank you, thank you so much for this journey.

How do we measure “Quality of Life”? | Before We Forget: Share your stories about dementia

http://beforeweforget.org/your-stories/2011/12/salubris

You should like us on Facebook now. How do we measure “Quality of Life”? Dr Wong Ting Hway, Singapore. We often use quality of life to explain medical decision-making, especially at the end of life. The more medical technology progresses, the more we realise that it is not just the length, but the quality of survival, that matters. My mother used to support people who facilitated euthanasia. Like the late Dr Death. As soon as it became available in Singapore, she signed an Advanced Medical Directive.
