Hi everyone,
Iv only just joined this forum. My mum was diagnosed with the early stages of vascular dementia around 2 years ago and I feel like I’m still coming to terms with and trying to accept this. Is anyone else going through the same thing?
Although it’s still early stages, the thought of how things might be in a couple more years really scares me, does anyone have any tips for coping with the diagnosis yourself? I have only talked to mum directly about the diagnosis about 2 or 3 times since it happened and she is aware of her diagnosis but doesn’t think her memory is as bad as it actually is. I am also worried that she is almost suffering in silence because she can’t face it either.
