Hi
My mother was diagnosed just around a year ago and it is so hard to understand how she will be. It was a shock ti hear the diagnosis of Alzheimers but mum took it ok ?! I was getting upto 17 calls a day on the phone .... only advice i can give is you will learn slowly how to cope something i now realise is mum lives “in the moment” and that has helped me quite a bit, she dosnt know what happened yesterday or this morning or even 10 minutes ago she only knows “now” !! She remembers when she was a little girl with her mummy and daddy but 60 years of marriage have gone and of my childhood, and i just have to accept things...very hard but i hope this helps you a little ? Xx please get in touch with your local adult social care to get a care needs assessment done the best advice i ever had then you can get a care plan organised and youll have someone to help and share with x
