Clive Beaumont was diagnosed with Younger Onset Dementia at age 45,
when his children were aged just 3 and 4. He had become less and
less able to do his job properly and had been made redundant from
the Army the year before. Clive's wife, Helen, tells of how she and
the rest of the family made it through the next six years until
Clive died: the challenge of continually adapting to his
progressive deterioration; having to address the legal implications
of the illness; applying for benefit payments; finding nursing
homes; and juggling her responsibilities as a wife, a mother and an
employee. She also describes the successful founding and
development of The Clive Project, a registered charity set up by
Helen and others in a bid to establish support services for people
with Younger Onset Dementia. Younger Onset Dementia is
comparatively rare, but not that rare. This story is for the family
and friends of people with the condition, for the people
themselves, and for the professionals working with them.
