8 months into new diagnosis of dementia for dw. This journey is new every day and finding with each new answer to a question comes new questions. I was part of a video support group and that helped. Now hoping to find a new group for me and one for her. Maybe she could learn more from others like i did.

Hi. I am also new with this. I am having a hard time. No help from family and don t know much of what to do. I want to join a support group that I think will help. Hope you find a support group too. We need as much help as possible. I care for my adult daughter.

My mom (age 75) was diagnosed with alz 4 months ago / im her only caregiver and do not live with her. My sister refuses to help me … I’m looking for an online zoom support group. I’m here to chat with others and help each other get through this. I’m on the west coast.0
