Helpful blogs?

[SophIEW85]

Hi,

I'm new, so forgive me if this has already been discussed. One of my grandparents is currently suffering with Alzheimer's Disease. My family and I have noticed she has deteriorated quite a bit over the last couple of months.

To help, I was wondering if anyone knows of any useful blogs of someone going through a similar experience - I think it will help. However, if anyone here can share their experiences and advice, then that would be a massive help.

I don't have any friends that I can talk to about this, and feel I can't fully share my feelings with my family.

Thanks

If you post about specific concerns on
http://forum.alzheimers.org.uk/forumdisplay.php?70-I-care-for-a-person-with-dementia
you will get several replies.

Alternatively having posted once you could develop the thread as one charting your journey coping with a dementia sufferer.

If you do the later think carefully about the title of the first post as it will become the thread title.
