Hi @tialdpod and welcome to Dementia Support Forum our friendly and helpful community. I am sorry to hear about your mum. Now that you have joined us do have a good look around, join in with ongoing conversations (threads), ask questions, share a little more about your situation or let off steam. You'll find plenty of understanding and good sense here.

Welcome from me too @tialdpod. It’s good that you’ve found this forum. You will get a lot of understanding and support here.

Now that you’ve introduced yourself take @northumbrian_k’s advice think about what you’d like to ask and let us know about your own situation. This will help members know how best to support you.

You might want to think about starting a thread in the I Care For A Person With Dementia area of the forum -

I care for a person with dementia

This forum is for people who are involved in the care of a person with dementia.

Hello @tialdpod and welcome to the forum from me too. There is most certainly, as others have said, an abundance of shared experience of dementia to be found here, so I am glad you have found us. I am sure you will find information and support here in order to enable you to support your Mum with her recent diagnosis.
