In Conversation with Ruth Jones Part 2: Annie’s Legacy
In part 2 of the conversation with her friend Ruth Jones, Justine speaks with raw honesty about the heartbreak of slowly losing her mum, the realities of caring and the overwhelming guilt that so often follows. She reflects on the moments she wishes she could relive, the memories she clings to, and the pain of a Christmas Eve goodbye.<br /> <br />Driven by love and necessity, Justine created a respite project that transformed the lives of families living with dementia - a beautiful, dignified space where joy, music, kindness, and humanity come first, and where carers are finally given permission to rest.<br /> <br />This episode is about more than loss. It’s about making moments matter. It’s about finding light in the darkest places and about the profound impact one woman’s life can have long after she’s gone. <br /><br />If you have any questions for Justine and Prof Julie, email us hello@twomindspodcast.co.uk. <br /><br />For further help and advice, please visit <br /><a href="https://www.alzheimers.org.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.alzheimers.org.uk</a> <br />

In Conversation with Ruth Jones Part 1: When a Mother Needs Her Daughter
The one and only Ruth Jones joins the podcast for the next two weeks as co-host of In Two Minds. As Julie takes a little break, Justine shares with Ruth the story she never thought she could tell — the story of her mum, Annie, and their family’s journey through young-onset dementia. <br /><br />Justine reflects on who Annie was before the diagnosis: a glamorous, funny, fiercely loving woman — a young mum and a devoted grandmother. Together, they explore the slow, bewildering onset of dementia, the thousand small moments that didn’t make sense at the time, and the heartbreak of watching independence, dignity, and language gradually slip away. <br /><br />This episode speaks honestly about the realities of caring: the humiliation dementia can bring, the exhaustion of “orchestrated fun,” and the painful question of who normality is really for. <br /><br />A tribute to Annie, and to all families living with dementia, this episode is about love in its rawest form — and why better understanding, support, and respite matter so deeply. <br /><br />If you have any questions for Justine and Prof Julie, email us hello@twomindspodcast.co.uk. <br /><br />For further help and advice, please visit <br /><a href="https://www.alzheimers.org.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.alzheimers.org.uk</a> <br /><br />
