Joan Van Gelden lost her husband to senile dementia. She talks about his decline, from initally losing his way home to being unable to communicate at all and eventually having to put him in a home. The video was made by her granddaughter Jess Chandler. She sent it to Five News for our Your News part of the programme.
Wish there was a cure, but wishing won't make a magic potion appear.
