Story

Altzchimers...!!! Wat can I say. U lose ur loved one over n again. I lost my dad and this my story. Once mum died, dad was lost without her. Dad carried on as normal but he started to forget....All dad knew was mum l!!! I tried so much to keep my dad at home..Dad was always a quiet, with a look, kinda man.. would certainly bark, (if needed be) ...My heart broke when i first got my dad to respite.... didnt know how he would respond to anyone else!!! But he enjoyed "getting away" he would always come home like 'a new man. He would get home..... first words  wheres my tea...❤❤❤

But wen my dad needed me most, was only allowed window 1 window visit a week which was only allowed for 30mins. My dad started declining fast. I could'nt be there for him!!!!!!! I could'nt hold his hand to comfort him or give him a hug and tell him just how much i loved him.  By the time i got into the Care Home to visit my dad he didnt know who i was anymore, this really broke my heart.

It was difficult to watch my dad get more frail and i couldnt do a thing about it. Then on 27th Dec 2021 my dad passed away. I was devastated but at the same time i felt a little relief knowing that my dad wasnt suffering anymore. He was a big part of our family and we really do miss him dearly. RIP Dad xx

Other families are goin thru the same thing and i just want them to know that there is help out there, be it contacting Altzchimers charity or even just chatting to another family in the same position it really does help. Xx
