This family and relationships guide explores how individuals living with dementia maintain their faith and connection to God. The authors examine the challenges of preserving religious beliefs as cognition declines, while highlighting the role of emotional faith, creativity, and the arts in sustaining spiritual awareness.

The text provides practical insights for religious communities to better support those affected by the condition. By analyzing the needs of families and carers, the book offers a person-centered approach to care within a faith context. First-hand accounts from practitioners and caregivers illustrate how meaning and hope remain accessible, making this a valuable resource for anyone navigating the complexities of dementia within the church.
