Nathan Stephens - An incoherent blurb from an unpaid family care worker

Nathan Stephens narrates his blog written for Dementia Researcher.

You already know Nathan the PhD Student, but what about Nathan the unpaid family carer? There are a number of reasons why he hasn't shared his and his family's lived experience with ‘you’ to date. It’s not because he's a fraud, nor because he hasn't tried... but because he simply couldn’t until now.

In this post I he sheds a glimmer of light on their experience. There’s no real theme or even coherent narrative to the post, but he hope you enjoy the pictures if nothing else. It’s important to note these are his views and opinions on his and his family's lived experience.
