When my wife was diagnosed we both suffered from it. I found that I worked through this phase quickly as I got busy organising things. However, I don't think my wife is through it yet.

Google Dementia Adventure for supported holidays. I hear they are very good. Enjoy.Hi
I am not frightened. I have the support of the memory clinic and will be attending the In2minds course next months, and do to YODEL but still feel lost.
I can keen on photography and take photos for fundraising and would like to travel with others who understand.

I am looking forward to going to the In2minds group then I will know more about dementia.I'm not yet diagnosed but I'm feeling lost now if I have dementia. I am experiencing memory lapse lately.
Thank you very much I will .Hi @Jorbin, it may be worth asking your GP for a referral to a CPN (Community Psychiatric Nurse). My wife got a referral and had a few useful 1 to 1 chats with the nurse. It took a while to get a first appointment though.
