@diverseedu Thank you so very much 🥰🇧🇧...I am so inspired by you making a real difference to the lives of so many 🤎🖤

71% of carers say they are already grieving the person they knew while still caring for them. If this feels familiar, you’re not alone. When someone close to you develops dementia, both of you may experience a profound sense of loss that can change over time. Depending on your relationship and circumstances, you may feel you are losing, or have already lost: your relationship with the person; companionship, support and special understanding; a particular lifestyle; intimacy with the person; freedom to work or take part in other activities; communication between you; future plans; and the person themselves. You may grieve for a short time as you experience these changes, or grief can be ongoing. Your feelings of grief may also change or go back and forth over time. Feelings of loss and grief might make it harder for you to cope with caring. Some of the changes you both go through can be harder to process than the person’s death. It’s important to acknowledge any feelings you have and try not to feel guilty about them. There is no right or wrong way to grieve. If you need any support or advice, please call our Dementia Support Line on 033 150 3456 or access peer support via our Dementia Support Forum 👇 forum.alzheimers.org.uk/ [Image description: A graphic titled 'Grieving a person with dementia can feel like you’re losing or have already lost...' depicts a person sat down, holding their knees towards their chest, as if something is troubling them. They are surrounded by short sentences describing the the different types of 'loss', which include: Intimacy with the person; Your relationship with the person; Companionship, support and special understanding; A particular lifestyle; Freedom to work or take part in other activities; Communication between you; Future plans; and The person.

Veteran news anchor Jon Snow has shared that he’s living with dementia, speaking publicly for the first time to raise awareness of a condition affecting around 1 million people across the UK. Jon and his wife, neurologist Dr Precious Lunga, are supporting Alzheimer’s Society @alzheimerssoc and shared the story of Jon’s diagnosis in @DailyMail as part of our Defeating Dementia campaign with the newspaper. dailymail.com/tvshowbiz/arti… We’ve partnered with Jon, in association with @Channel4, on a powerful new documentary airing on 20 June. Jon Snow: A Last Big Story looks at how he’s navigating life with dementia, and how, when we all come together, we can change the story. Thank you to Jon and Precious for their courage and openness to bring much-needed attention to dementia 💙 @jonsnowC4 Photo credit: Cynthia R Matonhodze

Join me on the 13th of June at Battersea Park in London for March for Men ❤️ I’ll be taking on the 10km walk, marching past some of London’s most iconic landmarks and I’d love for you to be part of it. 1 in 8 men will get prostate cancer in their lifetime. For Black men, the risk is even higher and it doubles. This is more than just a walk; it’s about raising awareness, supporting research, and saving lives. Let’s stand together. Let’s walk with purpose. Let’s do it for prostate cancer. CC: @ProstateUK
