A blog that hopefully may help others

[SlightlyFoxed]

Hi,

I've been lurking on the forum for a while, as my Mum has fairly advanced Alzheimer's, and despite never posting anything, just reading others experiences, questions and answers has really helped me so far. So I wanted to share a blog I wrote for the Society, about my family's story, about Mum's diagnosis, our family history, getting Mum into care etc and my feelings about it all.

In sharing I'm hoping it may just help someone else currently going through the same to feel slightly less alone, just as I've felt from reading around TP.

As I'm new to the forum I can't post direct links, but I've included the address to copy and paste if anyone wants to read it,

Hi SlightlyFoxed,
Thanks for sharing your story!

In a similar situation but I'm the wife and daughter in law.

I so wish I had a magic wand!

Sending hugs & big thanks
