The husband of Coronation Street star Julie Goodyear has revealed the pain of watching his beloved wife 'slowly fading away' after her dementia diagnosis. Scott Brand has shared his experience as part of a new Alzheimer's Society campaign, featuring a TV advert voiced by British actor Colin Firth. The advert, titled The Long Goodbye, illustrates the harsh reality of the disease's progression - causing loved ones to 'die again, and again, and again'.
'I wasn't coping' He revealed he initially 'refused to accept any support' after Goodyear's diagnosis before realising 'I couldn't do it by myself'. 'I had to give up work to become Julie's full-time carer,' he said. 'I wasn't coping and needed to seek support. 'Caring for Julie is my priority, but my health was being affected and as a lone carer I felt it was 'killing me'.
