Synopsis

Set in the pretty market town of Cockermouth in Cumbria, this is a true story which highlights the struggles of our family when dealing with Alzheimer’s disease.
My Grandparents were both diagnosed with the illness, then several years later, my Mother also began to show symptoms. My Father became her carer, but then died suddenly in his sleep as he laid in bed beside her. Painful memories for myself and my family.
While the story recalls some emotional times, it also shares some light hearted, even funny moments because as the expression goes, “If you don’t laugh, you’ll cry.”
It focuses on our encounters with nursing homes, carers, solicitors, Power of Attorneys and our uphill struggle when confronting the healthcare system.
