Father’s Day
He will always be my Dad, no matter what memories Alzheimer’s disease stole from him
This Father’s Day I’ll be lacing up my trainers for Dad and dementia research, and here’s why.
From taxi driver to professional carer: I’m so proud of Dad for new career after caring for Mum
I watched Dad lose the love of his life in one of the cruellest ways imaginable. Anyone who has been through the process of watching someone they love be diagnosed with and then eventually die of Alzheimer’s disease will know what I mean when I say that the grieving process starts years ahead of their eventual death.
The fathers of the brain
Around Father’s Day, many people across the country will be thanking their fathers for the support, love and very likely financial assistance they have given them throughout their lives. The relationship a father, or any individual, has with a child they care for is dynamic and complex. When we are young, fathers can help to support us in learning new skills, teach us how to eat and very often clean our mess up when we have made it. I have recently become a father and know how much time and energy these activities can take!
Our brilliant dads
All this week in the run up to Father’s Day we’ve be sharing our supporters’ pictures and memories of their dads.
