Hi my name is Sharon and I am new to this site.
My mother was diagnosed with Dementia last September and I am finding it very difficult to cope with it, I am looking for help and advice on how to manage the emotional side of this situation and hope others will be able to help from their own experience with this terrible disease. My sister and I between us care for her, although at the moment she still lives in her own home as we work and cannot yet be with her 24 hours a day. She is still quite independent and we are trying to let her remain where she is for as long as possible.
Well thats it for now hope to speak to you all soon.
