Hello and welcome from me also @Shaggycalves to this friendly and supportive forum. There is a wealth of shared experience of dementia to be found here, so I am glad you have found us.

I am sorry to read about your husband's recent diagnosis. Even if you were expecting it, it's tough to deal with a formal diagnosis. As has already been said, denial is very common.
Do please have a good look around the forums. People here really do want to help.
