'We tackle everything together - dementia won't change that'

‘We’d been married a year when I started noticing things were different,’ says Hilary. ‘Pauline didn’t want to get out of bed sometimes and didn’t remember things we had on like appointments.

‘Pauline is changing every day. She doesn’t want to think that I will ever not be able to cope. But I just try and show her every day how much I love her. We have so much to be grateful for.’A couple in their 80s sitting in a tattoo parlour, having matching love hearts inked onto their arms. Meet Ron and Sheila, Jules, Caroline and Mark, Grant, Anita, Fran and Tim. They are the real faces of Alzheimer’s and dementia – loving couples and families who know only too well that grief for an old life can make way for a new one you never planned. They know the love, the laughter, the compassion and the fear of facing Alzheimer’s and dementia – the UK’s biggest killer.

Common early symptoms of vascular dementia include problems making decisions or following a series of steps, such as cooking a meal; slower speed of thought and trouble sleeping. The condition can also cause significant mood changes and depression and make people behave completely out of character.
