Dedicate a message to Government to make them address the reality of lockdown for people affected by dementia.

My husband has been in care for 8 years. I have seen him every day until lockdown. I can no longer comfort him, hold his hand and tell him I love him. Apart from a few garden visits standing 2 metres away I have not been able to see him In his room.. The carers FaceTime me but he is unable to understand what’s going on-he has no idea that I am his wife and it’s heartbreaking
