It could somehow make them remember some names or events of certain occasions, depending on how great the impact is with the family video played. Make them watch it like a movie. Let them feel familiar with such condition.

Create something crafted as an art. Do this to let them experience some dose of fun. It shall be important that you know that it is not only for the sake of making something creative, but it is an activity where you help your loved ones make their brain cells work. When the brain is at work, it would be easier for them to take bits from their memory. Little by little, at least they can recall.

Get musical. Make it appear just like an ordinary entertainment. But, make sure you choose to have those that can stir up their emotions. Pick the ones which you knew that has a linked connection from what they had before. This helps their brain work on remembering what such music meant to them earlier in their life.

Cook or bake together. Cooking their favorite meal or the ones that their loved ones always wanted to have. For them to taste the food they had some attached memory with could help them exercise their ability to recall, making them able to reminisce whatever things they have to think about in connection to such.

Splurge into mind games such as puzzles. Make them have some fun. Play with them. It is your call to keep them entertained as the functionality of their brain is still in the process. Just keep helping them through this, never run out of patience. Be hopeful that someday their memories can come back.

Spend time with nature. Permit them to explore the wonders of nature. Awaken their interest in such. Make them want to take care of the dearest botanical plants. When they get hooked with planting even one, they will naturally think about taking care of it for the days to come. This thought alone helps them think, which is a good thing for them to actually recall.

No matter how much you would deny the fact about their disease, they will never interact with you the way they normally do. But, what you can do is to make them feel loved even if they have not remembered things about you. So, now is the time to make your stance. Help them. Conquer their disease with compassion.
