My mum was diagnosed with Alzheimer's this year and is in denial about it. She refuses to take any medication.I don't mention the Alzheimer's now in conversation.When she doesn't remember what day of the week .I just keep repeating it.I used to feel frustrated about her not accepting the diagnosis.Now,I realise how frightening this must be for her.I know it's hard for us loved ones.But,we need to try and be patient .
