I dip in and out of the forum every now and again, mainly because I keep forgetting my password which is ironic! Before sending this post, I have read several others and am currently letting out all those tears that I leave bottled up for weeks on end - how does anyone cope with this unfair disease? Dad has alzhiemers, he's 72 and was diagnosed 18 months ago. It's getting much worse and my mum, who is not well herself, is his carer. They have good days and bad days and I don't know what to do to help. Mum is fiercely independent but is coming around to the idea, with dad, that a day centre once a week would help them both. I think it's the knowing that nothing will improve and that the worst is to come - my lovely dad, I feel, as I am sure most affected by this do, that I will have to greave for him twice. There is no answer is there - just to try to cope and support each other along the way - thank you, Grace and Janey's mum x
