Bill & Jo Wilson – The Long Goodbye

At Alzheimer’s Society, we’ll be there for you again, and again, and again.

Bill Wilson shares his intimate story of losing his much beloved wife of 42 years, Jo Wilson, to dementia in this heart-breaking film.

The idea or ‘anticipatory’ grief, often known as ‘The Long Goodbye’, is so often associated with dementia. Bill describes in his own words how this idea truly reflects the heartbreaking way in which dementia can bring grief again and again to those affected.

One in three of us born in the UK today will develop dementia in our lifetime. It’s the biggest health and social care challenge we face.
