Carers speak out!

Carers need care

After caring for my wife through disability, brain surgery and advancing dementia there was an inevitable sense of relief when she moved into care. She is close by and I try to visit her every two days. Yet two years later,on days when I have no commitments, no visitors, or no phone calls a sense of loneliness and sadness is very real. This is especially true when there has been little response during the hour I have spent with my wife. It needs to be understood that Carers also need care.
