After a frantic search around town, John calls Gloucestershire Police and a major search operation swings into action.

    I cried a river.. And I'm so happy they found her.

    There are tracking devices that the family can put on her clothes and she can wear a necklace too. What a loving husband!

      me me Unfortunately there is such little help for dementia. Most help costs families thousands and thousands.

    • @soul7530
      @soul7530 Před 3 lety +4

      Tracking devices need to be connected to a smart phone and unfortunately the elderly aren’t usually great with technology but hopefully they can get something set up and connect it to a younger member of their families phone.

      It’s sad but this also affects his health as well. I think of this gentleman as the husband from the book and movie The Notebook.

    Those caring members of the police are a credit to their force. That loving husband brought tears to my eyes. Thank goodness Sheila was found safe and well. But what a difficult future they both face.

    The hardest part with dementia is as the disease gets worse, as a family member, you get the constant feeling that your loved one has already left you in spirit, and all you have left is their body :(

    I did what I could for my Mom as sole caregiver through her years of alzheimers, but sadly she did not have terribly much joy as it progressed. She reached a point where she didn't seem to be reached by her music or favorite films (though I still provided them since we can't be sure). I was touched by Sheila's clear expressions of joy.

      This is the side of the Police the mob, the rioters and anarchists fail to appreciate.
      The police in Britain aren't just a law enforcement agency; They are search and rescue specialists, first response medics, social workers, child safeguarding professionals, and above all, they are ordinary men and women just like the rest of us, except they do an extraordinary job.
      Thank you for your kind words Miss Smiles.

    The hardest thing in life is to care for an adult with Alzheimer’s disease. I had to take over the care of my Aunt whose only son was abusing her financially.
    I had to be stern with the woman who was apart of my village that contributed to the person I am today. I remember praying 🙏🏼 one Christmas 🎄 for GOD to take her home when we took her to the emergency room one night. My prayer was answered and I thank GOD everyday for his compassion. This was my mother’s closest younger sister and the pain on her face was unrelenting.
    I also thank GOD for sparing my mother of Alzheimer’s. Please give to researchers of Alzheimer’s, Dementia and Parkinson’s disease. There may not be a cure but the drug therapies hold tremendous potential.

    My dad made it age 100, and died from many co-morbid conditions, though not from dementia. For several years he showed many of the signs of the various forms of dementia, but thankfully was spared that form of death. However, I witnessed on a daily basis how seniors were treated by people in the so called helping professions. It broke my heart. This story helped put a smile on my face.

    We live in a generation were marriage is taken for granted.. disregarding each other's respect, sexual interest in others, or simply as another comment put it "I'm no longer happy". But stories like this give us Insight. True love is possible but it takes two to put in the effort. It takes two. Not one.
