Well hello and welcome Wendy. My wife got early onset too and it does come with its own problems. When people saw my wife, mid 50's and didn't look her age the last thing you'd think was AZ.
Our youngest was still at home age 16 at the time and by then it got so bad we packed him off to live with his big sister.
Have a read around the site here always someone here to listen/read whichever. K

Welcome from me too @BendyWendy.
I'm so sorry to read about your husband. You must both be in shock just now. I'm glad you have found this forum. I think you'll find it a good place to come and ask questions or share your concerns. When you're ready you might want to start a thread of your own in the I Have A Partner With Dementia area of the forum.
In the meantime you might find this useful -
