My Demented Dad: Alzheimer's is never easy, but it could be worse

We were all so consumed with Mum’s long illness and her end-of-life care that Dad was somehow overlooked and we put his befuddlement down to his age, the grief, and his general deterioration.

I guess when he forgot to tell us about Uncle Stanley’s funeral we might have thought something more serious was going on.  Even then it was almost 2 years later before we got a diagnosis.
