Hello
My husband suffers from dementia and it has become very isolating for me in the last year as I cannot go out and leave him apart from a quick trip to the local shop for necessities. My main grocery shop is done online.

Welcome to Dementia Talking Point @Revdlin. I hope you will find the support which may help you feel less isolated.

I also had to depend on on line shopping when it wasn`t safe to leave my husband. It didn't worry me because I don`t enjoy shopping but what was hard was the feeling of being housebound.

Hullo and welcome to the forums @Winklepops. You will find support and advice here from many in the same situation. My partner has other problems on top dementia and too, and distant family. Ask away If there's anything specific you need help with, or start your own thread and someone will always be around.
