Thinking of you Hazel and along with everyone else think you are one very brave lady!

I only discovered Compassionate Communication after my husband had passed away.
I'd like to think that if ever I had to deal with dementia again (which I hope a million times over I never do:eek:)...

Just heard your very sad news Linda and so sorry.

Sending condolences to you and your family and thinking of you.

Much love.

I like that idea!!!

It seems we are all having problems posting a comment to the newspaper. I attempted it three times and got so fed up I gave up (maybe that's the idea:rolleyes:
I know Elaine has tried several...

Reading your article on 'Foster a Granny' made my blood boil!
My husband died of dementia in 2010 and I tried so hard to care for him at home, so hard it nearly...

I am wondering whether anyone has read and taken exception to this article, describing a scheme to foster elderly people with dementia and the support they will receive from the Council!

....just read Saffie's earlier thread.
My husband had an EPA and he had to be deemed unable to make a decision by the GP before it was put into force.

I had a similar situation when my late husband moved into a care home.
Between us we owned three rental properties (our pension) but the only way I could release my husband's share of the funds in...

Sending condolences to you and your family.

Condolences to you and your family.

My late husband had didn't have Vas Dementia but FTD. However he suffered many seizures - the first one at home before he went into care. Unfortunately they then started to be a regular feature...

Positive vibes on their way to you from me. Will be thinking of you.

I recently won my case for the reimbursement of my late husband's care home fees but I chose to go through a firm off solicitors who specialise in these claims for wrongly withheld NHS funding.

I can remember posting exactly the same question a couple of years ago after I had been caring for my husband at home for several years. I just wanted someone to say to me 'yes, now is the time to...

My late husband was self funded and received both AA and Nursing funding.

Glad to hear the procedure went well and you are well rested.
Fingers crossed for the results and hopefully surgery will not be necessary.

When I first claimed for AA for my late husband it was turned down.
I spoke to my GP who was horrified and appealed on my behalf and we got it - and at the higher rate!!! so don't give up!

I will be thinking of you on Tuesday Hazel and sending positive vibes to help you on your way.

My husband frequently suffered from cold sores. He developed early onset AD in his early sixties and has since died.
There were no previous cases of dementia in his family.
Very interesting.

Such a moving article Nikola and reminded me of trying to cope with my David who also had FTD in his early sixties.

I have often wondered how you are and how you are coping.

Love

Hi Hazel
Just caught up with your thread and so sorry to hear that you are still waiting for some good news.
Sending lots of positive vibes and love to you.

I've just signed the Petition.
I was one of the lucky ones who after appealing did in fact get all my husband's Care Home fees reimbursed - but it was a long fight taking two and a half years!
Good...

Hi
Whilst my husband was still at home I found it increasingly difficult to care for him and eventually my hair started to fall out in patches. In addition I was continually in tears as I just...

Sending you loads of positive vibes Hazel and love.
