Books
'But then something happened' takes us on an emotional journey. Mum, dad and two very grown up kids. An ordinary family hit hard by dementia. Mum and dad both fall victim. Different kinds of dementia, different effects. Daughter, Chris, tells the story, falling into the role of the responsible adult in the family, everyone muddling along in a state of denial until one day 'something happens'; a series of crises that lay bare the reality that both parents are losing their minds. Warm, intimate, honest and intensely human; depicting dementia not as a tragedy but as a phase of life lived by both sufferers and carers. Laughter as well as tears as the disease plays out day-to-day.
