It occurs to me that it might be useful to post links to two extremely valuable sources of help and support which I may have mentioned before. These particular links will be of use to English readers only.
Admiral Nurses are mental health nurses specialising in dementia. Admiral Nurses work with family carers and people with dementia, in the community and other settings. Read more here:

Towards the bottom of the page there's a link to a direct phoneline number in case you don't have Admiral Nurses based near you.
The Alzheimer's Society can also be very helpful. This link will help you find your nearest branch:

Dementia Awareness Week
Dementia Awareness week in England runs from 18th to the 24th May. This link to the Alzheimer's Society website gives more information:

In each area there will be different activities and events taking place. Anything that raises awareness about dementia must be a good thing.
Even since we started on our dementia journey I have found that more and more people have some understanding of the disease.
In my next post I'm going to try to identify things that I think people need to know and understand about dementia.
