hi cherry
I have been through what you are experiencing about three years ago now,when my wife who was only 56 then,was finally confirmed as having this awful disease.
I was just told out of the blue and left to get on with it,the shock of this resulted in me having a mild nervous breakdown.
It is still very hard to deal with it,and a battle to keep going and not let yourself get depressed,and feeling isolated.
I have learnt to live with it in a way,even though it breaks my heart ,seeing my wife only able to do very little now.
It is also on your mind every day,but you can sort of learn to control it,so it does not take over your whole thinking process.
Do not be left on your own like I was to deal with this.
Go to your local GP,who may be able to offer some counselling.
In hindsight this is the first thing I maybe should have done.
You mustalso contact your local Alzhemiers office,they will help you out with lots of advice
On a practical note,go to the CAB for advice on benefits and finance.
Go to a solictor to obtain Lasting Power Of Attorney etc if needed.
I am new to T/Point as well,so I just hope my telling you about my experience will help you ,if only in a small way.
I used to think I was the only one suffering until I found this site,and unfortunately thier are lots of us going through this.
I know how hard it is for you,so try to keep going.
Cheers for now.
