Julie Goyder’s husband has Parkinson Disease. She shares their journey on her blog, JMGoyder.
Following Julie and her husband, Anthony’s, journey is a voyage into marriage, relationship, compassion, kindness, loss and above all love.
Recently, Julie took a part-time job at the home where Anthony lives. One of the things she does is take patients with dementia for walks through the grounds surrounding the care facility.
In the beginning, Julie chattered away, asking questions her patients couldn’t answer.
Until, she decided to share ‘the silence’ instead of words.
I wanted to share Julie’s beautiful post about the silence, the third in a mini-series she’s written about what she’s learned working in the dementia house.
I found it profoundly beautiful and inspiring. Please… keep reading. You will be moved.
Dementia dialogues 3

Okay so this post concludes the little mini-series about what I have learned over the last several weeks of working in the dementia house.
Silence is golden!
To begin with, I would take various of the ten women for wheelchair walks around the gardens and through the facility, bombarding them with my chatter and questions, pointing to flowers or pictures on the walls, or just telling anecdotes or jokes that I hoped would elicit conversations.
In hindsight, that was idiotic in many ways…. to read the rest of Julie’s blog, please click HERE.
Dare Boldly 
I feel truly compelled to share my incredible experience with everyone—I am absolutely overjoyed to say that I am one of the happiest people on this platform, having been completely cured of COPD through the herbal program offered by EarthCureHerbalClinic.com. After struggling with the disease and its debilitating symptoms for so long, I can now confidently say that they have all disappeared. The transformation in my health has been nothing short of miraculous. I am deeply grateful for the natural healing approach provided by EarthCureHerbalClinic. Their herbal remedies not only brought me relief but have given me back a life I thought I had lost. To anyone still suffering or feeling hopeless—please don’t give up. There is hope, and I am living proof of that.
