I am new to this and this is my first post so I’m not sure what to expect.
I am looking for young people that have had to care/witness their loved ones/parents go through dementia. My mum was diagnosed when I was 18 and she was 54 (ish), although, she had been showing signs of illness for a few years before her diagnosis.
I am now 23 and have never really spoken to anyone about this, I’m trying to find some sort of group for young adults to talk about their experiences as I am really starting to struggle nowadays. My relationship with my mum was wonderful and even though she’s been ill for years I’m finding it harder and harder to cope without her.
If anyone would like to talk about their experiences or to vent or anything please just say, I’ve not had much support since mum got poorly but I really think I’m starting to need it.
Thanks,
Aaron
