Good evening, I cared for my mother fo five and half years mum was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Dementia early 2012. I did everything for her which I was happy to do as I was able too. My mum was on quite a lot of medication including mementin for her dementia. Unfortunately it got to the stage, I couldn't even go shopping for fear of her extremely agitated and upset. Continually asked for her own mother who passed away in 1992. With a heavy heart I had to make a difficult decision of finding a care home for her. So mum's new home became a care home my mum could not walk without a Zimmer frame, and fell within the first 24 hours, walking unaided. On the way to the hospital I was praying she hadn't broken any bones but didn't think a cut on her forehead would have such an impact, she had a bleed on her brain. My beloved mother now didn't even know who I was, she held her own for another 14 month's and passed away peacefully in her sleep 22nd Oct 2016. I'm still broken hearted and feel totally alone I miss her so much.
Dementia is such a cruel disease, they say you never get over loosing a loved one but just learn to live with it. I still learning. Thank you Warren.
