Hello all. This is my first post on this forum and I guess I'm hoping to reach out to people who have similar experience and or just some advice. My beautiful mum is 69 and has been a rock for my 2 sisters and my brother and I throughout our lives. It pretty much always been my mum as she and my dad divorced when I was very young. I'm 40 now, and the youngest of my siblings. One of my sisters is disabled and my mum has been her carer for mos her life.
After months and months of increasingly out of chapter behaviour, my mum was diagnosed last week with Frontal Lobia dementia. We are all devastated. It appears this form of dementia is one of the worse as there doesn't seem to be any treatment what do ever and a life expectancy of 8 years.
My mum currently lives with my disabled sister. My other sister who is cabin crew For an airline stays there 3 nights a week when she is in the country. I guess I want to know what I can do now to help my Mum now. I just feel so helpless.
I have applied for a POA about 3 weeks ago now. What else should we be considering or doing?
Thank you for reading
