Alzheimer's Society’s Post

When receiving a dementia diagnosis for yourself or someone close to you, there is a lot of new information to take in and process all at once. This can make you feel upset or angry, and you’re bound to have lots of questions. We asked members of our community to share the questions they had when they first received a diagnosis for themselves or someone close, to show it’s totally normal to ask questions. However you feel, it’s natural and it is okay to give yourself time to process your feelings. But you’re not alone. Once you feel ready, we’re here for you.

  • A white graphic. The headline text in blue says ‘Common questions people have when someone is first diagnosed with dementia.’ 
On the graphic there are 10 light blue thought bubbles with a dark blue border. Each thought bubble has a different question. The questions are: How long until they forget me? 
How long will I have with them? 
How are we going to cope?
Can this happen so early? 
Why?
How is this possible?
How fast will their dementia progress?
Why did it take so long for a diagnosis?
What happens next?
How is this fair?

Thank you for sharing this 🙏 . Receiving a dementia diagnosis can be a life-changing moment, and it’s completely normal to feel a mix of emotions— It’s so important to remind everyone that these feelings are valid, and there’s no right or wrong way to process them. Taking time to reflect and ask questions is an essential part of adjusting. For those navigating this journey, whether for yourself or a loved one, remember that you don’t have to face it alone. There are communities, professionals, and resources ready to provide guidance, understanding, and support when you’re ready to take that step. Your courage in sharing your experience and seeking answers makes all the difference. Together, we can face this journey with strength and compassion. 💙
