My OH started showing signs of vascular dementia 3 years ago, gradually getting worse, I am his 24/7 carer. We are both in our 70s. I found this site and am so grateful for it. The problems I am facing seem very common to dementia, I have been reading the threads and the answers given have been most helpful. Being in this group has made me feel less isolated.
Want to say thank you.

Our friends have hardly bothered with us since my OH diagnosis. We used to invite people to our house all the time but now do not get invited any where. There is definitely a stigma out there. Trying to find a group event that will introduce couples to other couples who are going throught the same thing.

Hello @themagicstar
We go to a monthly dementia support group run by Carers UK. I have found our group invaluable for support and getting to know others in the same situation.

Hello @themagicstar Age Uk have a living well with dementia group. My husband used to attend the Ashington group before his Alzheimer’s sadly progressed and he didn’t enjoy going.
There’s a group in Ponteland I’m not sure if that would be close enough for you. Some partners attend and have a little chat.
