For the first time Mum doesn't know where she is on a visit to the cemetery

Breakfast on BBC Radio Leeds

Available for over a year

It's a sad day for son Andrew as a series of events underlines Mum's deterioration. A district nurse visits after concerns about a pressure sore, then he's unable to get her shoes on. But what upsets him most is the fact that, for the first time, Mum doesn't recognise where they are on one of their regular visits to the cemetery where her parents and husband are buried. Mum and Me: The Dementia Diary was originally broadcast on BBC Radio Leeds.
