Yesterday evening, on TV, an episode of “Gone Missing”. One case that of a man, suffering from Dementia, missing for many hours in rural Gloucestershire. What shocked me about the case, was that his wife had gone out to lunch with a cousin leaving him at home alone. When she returned some two/three hours later, he was no where to be found. The man hours the police invested in the search outstanding, including a police helicopter which in its final minutes of fuel found the poor man as a result of information from the public via social media. Caring for a Dementia sufferer is not easy but would I have left him alone – most certainly not. It occurred to me that the reaction when the police finally got him home somewhat unusual, his grown-up stepdaughter very obviously distressed but his wife rather detached. I did speculate about how much she understood the nature of Dementia.
