No Shame, No Humiliation... that is very difficult to do. Even when I was in my early 20's and gungho into my religion, I still felt shame about talking to strangers about my God. I always felt I was lacking since I felt shame pop up. I sometimes have to remind myself that other Bible people Fled or struggled with their faith - Jeremiah , Peter (denying knowing Christ 3 times), etc... You are right, that it would be very difficult to have no shame or humiliation if one is ever diagnosed with dementia, especially when people think it can be contagious or embarrassing.
