Both my parents had dementia – I don’t know how we’d have coped without Marie Curie

Phil and Aimee Stockton share their reflections on caring for two parents with dementia for almost a decade. Phil says: I cared for my parents, Phil Senior and Ann from 2014 to 2023. Nine years. They both had dementia. From day one, it was so hard. Being a carer for someone with dementia, you often feel totally on your own – as if there's no support out there. That changed when we got care through the Marie Curie Palliative Dementia Service in South West Wales, after years of struggling.
