Does anyone else find this advert problematical?
It quotes from the marriage vows, “ in sickness and in health, till death us do part”.
Maybe it was intended to recognise the commitment and devotion of many spouses who care for a loved one with dementia, together with the support that the charity can offer.
I don’t have a problem with that, but I do worry that it may cause problems for people who have reached the point where their loved one needs more help than can be provided at home so they have found a place in a Home for them. There is no need to make them feel guilty, that they have broken their marriage vows, given in, not done their duty, surely?
I have a friend in this position. She looked after her husband for several years, until she could no longer do so. It wasn’t safe. She should not be guilt-tripped.
I intend to make a complaint.
