Sandra Barnes of the Alzheimer Society, Hastings Prince Edward, recently presented CEO and head librarian of the North Hastings Public Library, Kim McMunn, was with a Certificate of Participation for the Dementia Friendly Communities and Finding Your Way Training. Event coordinator at NHPL, Natalie Phillips, also completed the pilot project.
According to online resources at https://alzheimer.ca/hpe/en/home, by the end of this decade it is anticipated that there will be almost one million people in Canada living with dementia. This is why training in building a dementia-friendly Canada is so important. The Dementia-Friendly Canada project is using a “person-first” approach to ensure all Canadians living with dementia feel valued and empowered, ensure all organizations are inclusive and accessible and that through awareness of dementia, changes can be made individually and as a society.

Society needs to embrace the long-term value of sorrow and stop shaming people for experiencing pain years and even decades after a bereavement, according to a new book on the phenomenon of long-lasting grief.
The Aftergrief, by Hope Edelman, published by Michael Joseph, focuses on people who are still feeling acute emotional pain years after their loved one has died, and distinguishes it from the grief we immediately feel after a death.
Hope, who became a best-seller with her other work Motherless Daughters, which charts her experience of losing her mother at 17, interviewed bereaved people about their aftergrief and distinguishes it from the emotions we immediately feel after a death.
