Hello all, my name is Nick. My mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease last year. I feel I'm going through the hardest part of my life right now as I worry so much about her. My mum is in her late 70s and has always been a strong woman but in the last year I've seen her cry so much due to the mood swings. Her forgetfullness gets worse as time goes by. It's so hard to watch but at the same time she tries to keep a brave face. We have good days and bad days. How do you all cope with it when its your family members?
