Statement from Deborah Barker, Executive Director
Alzheimer Society of Grey-Bruce
We are deeply saddened by the recent events in London Ontario where an 84-year-old woman has been charged in an attempted murder–suicide.
The woman is charged with giving her husband, who has dementia, an overdose of medication and then taking an overdose herself. Both survived.
We know that caregivers and family members who have a loved one with dementia can face levels of stress that seem overwhelming. It is important to know that help is available and people need not feel isolated or alone.
The Alzheimer Society of Grey-Bruce has a staff of trained, professional counsellors who are experienced at working individuals with dementia and with their family members and caregivers.
Help is as close as our telephone number – 519-376-7230 or 1-800-265-9013.

Fear. Once the people in the stadium realized the two explosions were bombs, fear overwhelmed. Where should they go? Should they go out onto the field? Out of the stadium? With every step the spectators took they must have wondered if they were escaping or...
