Hi everybody , My name is Danny and my mum was diagnosed with Vascular Dementia 7 months ago. Dementia at times has provided feelings that can range from dismay and deep sadness to anger and despair. It can also come as a relief. After my mums diagnosis it provided long-awaited answers for a failing memory, communication problems and changes in behaviour patterns.
My current role is the main care provider for my mum. My mums name is Bridget and she is without a doubt my absolute best friend and it kills me every day to watch her loose a little part of everything that makes her so special to me, but I will never let her down. The reason why I am so pleased to join this community is because apart from the social and emotional benefits of participating I understand that disease specific support groups enable the exchange of valuable professional and personal information and advice. At times I feel alone and unsure of what is best for my mum , so by reaching out to this community I know that there are others who are feeling the same things as me and dealing with the same issues also. I am so thankful for any advice I can gather and I will without hesitation provide support to all who require it. Thank you all in advance . ??
