This is Sarah and Gemma, Wendy’s daughters. Our mum died peacefully early this morning. She wrote a blog post before she died so you can read about it from her perspective.

- My daughter scraped another car when parking....she felt terrible, left a note on the windscreen assuming she wud get a bill but got this response.. “Sleep soundly in bed tonight, when you’ve inhabited this planet as long as I have a wee scratch on the car is lost in the noise”
GIF - When life throws you a curved ball never give up on yourself……2 Honorary Doctorates and 2 Sunday Times Best sellers all since a diagnosis of dementia. You never know what you can achieve unless you give it a go……you only get one chance at life, LIVE IT, don’t give up ☺️
- Wendy’s daughter here, mum’s out of surgery and very happy its done ☺️
- My sunflower lanyard was immediately recognised at York station & by the staff on the train, all of whom immediately asked me if I needed help...we’d advise any1 hidden disability 2wear 1..@DementiaVoices @Innov_Dementia P.s I have 2 on so I remember to give 1 2 @agnes_houston
- Everything that everyone with dementia says is as important as the next. I’m simply lucky to have met @whartonswords and through her expertise and friendship, been given the opportunity to write about my life with and without dementia in tow.

- Thanks for missing me! I’ve been in hospital as I had a bit of an accident at home but it’s quite tiring to post. I’ve just escaped so now just need to recover ….they brought me Molly the therapy dog for a cuddle which made my day though..
Has anyone heard from @WendyPMitchell recently? She’s not posted anything for a while, I hope she’s ok x - Wonderful kindness shown by @LNER staff at Kings Cross. I explained I had dementia, had my sunflower lanyard on and wondered if I cud catch an earlier train home due 2 chaos this morning. No problem! Someone took me to the next train, found me a seat & explained 2 the guard ....
GIF - *****************PROUD MUM ALERT!!!!! ***************** Might have been a change in career later in life but my lovely daughter @Sarah_mitche11 has gone from Student Nurse to Junior Sister......❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ AMAZING !!!
- Someone told me on my blog today how a 92 year old lady who turned up in full evening dress for her vaccine – she said she hadn’t been out for so long that she was going to make it a celebration!
GIF - I hid the poppy pebbles I made this morning around the village for people to find, the young, the old & everyone in between. I was staggered by the interest shown & my village community has embraced the challenge....we all need a reason 2 trundle at the mo 🙄 #dementiacraftivist
