Hi. I have today joined this forum to hopefully hear from other people in a similar situation to myself. My mum was diagnosed with dementia when she was 64. She is now 68 and her condition is worsening. She still lives at home with my Dad, but he has now taken over all household chores including helping her dress and wash. I have reached a stage that I feel I need to speak to other people who maybe are in a similar situation. I miss doing all those mum/daughter things that we use to do and only a daughter can really understand that feeling. If I start to think about the future I just feel like crying!
