I wear my Forget me Not Badge for my Mum who had Alzheimer’s and also my Dad who had Vascular Dementia, but sadly both my Parents are no longer with us, I lost my Dad on 03/10/2023 and I lost my Mum on 10/03/2025 which is Heartbreaking 💔💔 and I miss my Mum and Dad Bigtime, hopefully a cure can be found in the Future as watching a loved one go through the pain & trauma of such a horrible affliction just breaks your Heart and is really tough on myself and the rest of the family to live with such a huge loss of two very special people and at times is surreal knowing I will never see my Mum and Dad again 💔💔

I will be wearing my badge for my mum, she had Alzheimer's and Vasculer Dementia, she was given a prognosis of five years but she lost her battle after three years. Mu was a seamstresses. in her early working life and went on to be a silver service waitress until her retirement then she became a doting grandmother and great-grandmother mum was a lovely lady and she is missed greatly.

Denise

I have a Aunty who is in her Nineties she was a lovely Aunty to my children over many years and also good to my wife and l, in her day she was involved as a amateur Actress and became Mayor of Epping Town in Essex , this lady has also been involved with the church in Epping when she retired so l can only give praise to her and her husband who also died of dementia.

My mother was diagnosed with Alzheimers, then my husband with Vascular Dementia and more recently my sister with a combination of both. When she asked I explained to her that she had both types. She always had a good sense of humour, a dry wit and her comment was " I always was greedy". She ended her life in a very caring Care Home on May 17.

My wife who is a retired RMN as am I, we both worked in wards for people newly diagnosed with a form of dementia her last job was in this role in Bath, she started showing signs 3 or 4 years ago but was formally diagnosed in 2025! She was well respected into her role. She has been prescribed Memantine which had had a good effect. She has periods of low mood when she realises that she is unable to do the things she could before. This is distressing to both of us!

My wife was diagnosed in November 2020, a late diagnosis due to Covid restrictions, which limited the support we could have had. I cared for her at home until she passed away in May 2023. Times got hard, watching someone you love disappear is difficult and frustrating but I vowed on our wedding day to care for her always sing I never stopped loving her.
Since she’s gone my memories have been mixed, the good times we shared, and other not so good memories. I miss her every day but am glad that she’s not at peace
I now do voluntary work for our local Alzheimer’s group, passing on the knowledge I gained and giving help where I can. I know in my heart my wife would like that.

Tony

I am supporting for my late wife Diana.
She was discharged from hospital with a diagnosis of lewy body dementia and a prognosis of 2 to 3 months. I gave up work to become her principal carer at home with 3 half hour care agency visits a day. She survived for 2 years and four months, passing 2 years ago this April. I don't ever want anyone else to have to witness the decline of a loved one caused by this evil affliction. In my heart I really do hope that as time progresses you are able to successfully rid society of this awful disease.

No story. Just happy to be of help. Looking forward to receiving my badge as it is one of my favourite flowers.

My younger Brother, BRIAN, led a varied and active life serving in the British Army and afterwards managing the refrigeration plant at a large chilled food company before moving on to work for Guide Dogs for the Blind. He enjoyed gardening, loved his wife and family and liked to organise family get-togethers for the wider family. Having through cancer episodes he,sadly, was diagnosed with dementia and Alzheimer's and quite quickly reached a stage of not recognising people he had loved so much in earlier times. We will always remember him and his support over the years. Born in January 1945 he was the middle one of five of us. We all respected his experience and caring attitude toward our younger generation members of our family.

My wife passed away on 24th November 2025 4 months short of our 60th wedding anniversary .
As well as my wife she was my rock
She was a mum ,grandma and great grandma
Although her final years were very difficult, loss of communication and mobility, she still had a sense that humour
She is seriously missed and has let a big hole in my life
I fully support Altziemers and encourage everyone to do so
