Woman who lost husband to dementia emphasises importance of spotting early signs

A Strathearn woman who lost her husband to dementia has warned of the importance of spotting the early signs of the disease.

Sally Halliday lost her husband Jack in 2018 following a battle with dementia and has described his final years as the disease started to take hold of him and the lengths she used to go to protect him.

Speaking to Belfast Live, she urged others to be aware of the signs and symptoms of dementia and Alzheirmers disease, saying that if people are able to get a diagnosis and treatment early, they can have a longer time living a full life with their families.
