I’m hoping to find some advice as I don’t know what to do.
I’m posting this on behalf of my mum. Her best friend of 50 years has been diagnosed with dementia.
Her friend has also recently lost her husband and moved house. One of these issues is hard enough but all of them is heartbreaking.
The reason for the advise is, mums friend has 3 sons. I’m sure that they care but they don’t seem to understand their mums needs. We don’t think she eats properly, is isolated in a small village and frequently calls mum forgetting her husband has died. Short term memory is poor.
I believe they have contacted social services but I’m not sure what happened. Where does mum stand.
Does she have to leave everything to the sons. It is heartbreaking to see her change.
My MIL past away last year. She had mixed dementia and I can see so many warning signs in mums friend that I have experienced before. Isolation is a big factor. And she has already stopped calling other friends and withdrawing.
Is there anything we can do to help or go to for advice?
Thank you for your time
