Jay Owen had been caring for his grandma, known to him as Nanny V, for months before she was diagnosed with dementia the day before his wedding to his husband Andrew.
As his grandma's dementia progressed, being her lead carer put a strain on Jay. His husband Andrew suggested he contact Alzheimer's Society.
"The support I had from the Alzheimer’s Society saved our marriage. We decided to get married because we wanted to spend our lives together. Of course, I loved my nan to bits, but she wasn’t part of my routine when we made that decision."
