It's hard to understand the frustrations the memory loss causes which led my gran to lash out at the man she's been married to for over 50 years. She wouldn't have done it if she'd have realised. 

 

As a result my gran has now been admitted to hospital after the doctors eventually recognised that she isn't well. 

 

I don't know who I will be visiting but I have read that visits from family can really help because although my gran may confuse who I am, she'll remember the way she feels when I'm  around. 

 

I hope she remembers me when I visit, in some way. 

 

Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia, affecting around 496,000 people in the UK. The term 'dementia' describes a set of symptoms which can include loss of memory, mood changes, and problems with communication and reasoning. These symptoms occur when the brain is damaged by certain diseases and conditions, including Alzheimer's disease.
