A letter to my wife from your loving carer
A loving letter from a husband to his wife who suffers from alzheimers
Hiya chuck,
It’s me again Jean on another Friday morning. It’s ok chuck, I know you don’t remember me, who I am or what our relationship is.
Just been sorting some papers out and I see were married in 1967, one day before my 21st birthday and a few months before yours. I make that 44 years. So, we have seen a lot together, done a lot together, struggled to bring the family up and watched them grow into the people they have become.
We always managed to pay the bills, keep out of debt and not have any real stresses of the kind that seems to break families apart these days. Really it’s all thanks to you.

Age UK Norfolk are asking for people to help with finding out more about the experiences of family carers who support relatives with dementia at home and whether putting newer carers in touch with a more experienced carer helps well-being.
The programme is called Support at Home: Interventions to Enhance Life in Dementia (SHIELD), and the charity are asking for people to take on a number of voluntary positions.
