Hi everyone..
I'm new to the site but hopefully will gain some valuable info and advice from members.
My mum was diagnosed with moderate Alzheimer's in June 2018..
My dad was her main carer but unfortunately he died last night andmum is now obviously struggling to comprehend his death.
She will ask where he is and then when we explain that he has died it's like the first time she's hearing it.
Would appreciate any advice on how to try to handle this as it's very distressing for her and my hubby and I.
Thanks in anticipation
