Hello everyone,
My 73 year old mum was diagnosed with alzheimers in June, after several months of my family and I knowing something was wrong and trying to get her to go to the doctors.
I am finding it very hard to accept it. Mum and I have always been very close and it is killing me to see her the way she is. I feel my old mum has gone and I just want to shout "I WANT MY MUM BACK". I know I have to deal with it and accept it but I just feel so sad all the time. I am 31 (my mum was an older mum). My dad and sister (who is 43) seem to be dealing with it quite well and accepting how she is.
I don't know what to do. Please help.
Thank you
