| T2 | my uncle was in the last sad stages of dementia last week his sis came from Chicago to be with her brother. We were told to come visit they didn’t know how much longer he was gonna last. Tonight at 7:30 pm I got the text our uncle passed away. The only ” comfort ” I me & my mom know is he’s not suffering anymore. My mom had gone last week to see him I wanted to remember him as my funny uncle that he always was so I stayed home. He and my aunt had never been separated except for when he was in hospital recently they were married since they were very young. | 0 |

| T4 | My dad has had Alzheimer’s for about five years. Me and my mum acts as his full time carer and my siblings help as much as they can and we have two companions that come to keep him company. Dad is declining. He can chat but he only talks about the same 4 things on rotation, all from his past, and will turn any conversation to these points. He sleeps in a separate room to my mum and takes an array of weapons to bed every night - walking sticks, toilet brushes, and more recently knives. He’s worried someone might break in. We’ve told the GP and they’re changing his medications again to see if that helps to ease the paranoia. He’s also started some more unusual behaviors like urinating into mugs and keeping them in his bedroom. | 1 |
