Hello. I am new to all this. My husband was diagnosed this week with 'moderate' dementia to add to his myriad of other health problems. He is 76. I am 71. I am also a carer for my 85 yer old aunt who lives with us. I am a retired social worker and I am only too aware what the future holds. My husband's Mother also had dementia and died from pneumonia in the end. Our 37 year old daughter passed away suddenly and unexpectedly 3 years ago leaving two small children. I feel I am still grieving for her. I have my 'dark' days but try to stay positive and focus on what good things are in my life and there are many, instead of focusing on all the negative stuff. I know how hard it can be some days. He has started on the drug MARKETED AS EBIXA just today. I have a supportive family, a son, two other daughters and in total 7 grandchildren. Much to live for and enjoy. And today my heart sang when I discovered a pair of robins nesting close to my kitchen window.
