I’m Bev & my husband has Alzheimer’s

[Bevhar]

Is there anyone in the Salisbury /Amesbury area on this forum as I’m interested in what help groups there are in the area for my husband & I to go to

Hello and welcome Bev from Salisbury, I'm Kev from Salford, no idea but I just like the alteration, someone will say something more useful no doubt, so just a hello from me. K

 

[Bevhar]

Thank you for your reply are you a carer

 

[Kevinl]

Carer, now retired for both mum and wife and all 3 of us former NHS nurses, sadly the ladies have now passed away but 12 years on the site here you learn a lot, as I said on another thread I'd do it all again in a heartbeat if I could. Hard while they were here, harder now they're not, just moving on...K

 

[Bevhar]

I will do whatever my husband needs me to
Just finding it really frightening & not knowing what to expect It’s so lovely to hear you miss them so much
