The experience of dementia is raises many important questions about the nature of self and personhood. No disease is experienced in isolation and dementia embodies this. Ideas of loss of self and loss of life feature strongly in dementia and have the potential to profoundly affect a person's spirituality. The Christian faith offers the possibility of retaining and recovering the sense of personhood and connection with God and others. This allows for the possibility of hope.
