Hi,
While we have known that the symptoms of Alzheimer's and dementia have been progressing in my nana for a number of years now, she has just recently had a formal diagnosis. She does not like it, while so relies so much on my grandpa for day to day support she often blamed him and my mum for organising the whole diagnosis and 'conspiring' against her.
It is getting emotionally more straining and difficult for mum and especially grandpa, always one to want to help, nana gets increasingly frustrated if you do not give her a job to to or while she stays in your house, if you can't think of something easy and straight forward she feels hurt and useless.
Having felt like she has been grieving the loss of her mum and the strong bond they had, it is becoming hard for my mum now. I see mum getting increasingly frustrated with nana and it becomes a vicious circle of frustration and anger, has anyone got any experience of this or ways to help?
Thank you for reading x
