The Alzheimer's Diaries

-A third presence has arrived in my marriage. Ms Alzheimer-s - I think of her as a hideous, brain-eating monster - has come to live with us. Permanently.-

In April 2017, Susan-s husband Nicholas was diagnosed with Alzheimer-s. This was followed by 28 months of relentless, rapid decline culminating in Nicholas- death in August 2019.

The Alzheimer-s Diaries (originally published as a blog) charts the progression of his illness, from diagnosis to the funeral. Susan dubbed the illness -Ms Alzheimer-s- and describes the hateful impact on the man she loves.

According to Alzheimer-s Research UK one person in 14 over the age of 65 has dementia, and in this thought-provoking account, Susan unflinchingly shares her story.
