“Music was pulling us apart as a couple”

Available for over a year

BBC Radio 4 Woman's Hour has been talking to women with dementia about how music helps them cope. Agnes, who’s in Coatbridge in North Lanarkshire, was diagnosed 13 years ago with dementia at the age of 57. Since then she’s become more sensitive to sound, which has had a huge impact on her life and her relationship with her husband, who also has dementia. She tells Henrietta Harrison that living together became unbearable, but now music is bringing them together again.
