Jamie Lomas has shared the heartbreaking news of his mother’s passing on Mother’s Day after a 12-year struggle with Alzheimer’s disease.

The 50-year-old actor took to Instagram on Sunday to honor his cherished mother, Helen Webb, with a heartfelt tribute.

In his message, Jamie expressed the pain of losing his mother twice — once to the gradual decline caused by the devastating illness, Alzheimer’s, which is a leading cause of dementia and is both progressive and irreversible.

He wrote, “Sadly, we lost our beautiful mum today on Mother’s Day.”

Jamie said it felt like he had lost his mother twice, due to her battle with the ‘awful illness’, Alzheimer’s, a progressive, irreversible brain disease and the most common cause of dementia. 

He wrote: ‘Sadly we lost our beautiful mum today on Mother’s Day. 

‘After a 12-year battle with Alzheimer’s, she finally decided it was time to leave us. For anyone who knows what it’s like to have someone with this awful illness, you will know that you lose them not once but twice. 

‘Our mum was always so strong and to watch her over the years slowly turn into someone who is just a shell of who they once were is very difficult to take and watch.

His soap comeback came a year after he welcomed a daughter,Bella Neveah, with his partner Jess Bell. 

What is Alzheimer’s?

Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive, degenerative disease of the brain, in which build-up of abnormal proteins causes nerve cells to die.

This disrupts the transmitters that carry messages, and causes the brain to shrink. 

More than 5 million people suffer from the disease in the US, where it is the 6th leading cause of death, and more than 1 million Britons have it.

WHAT HAPPENS?

As brain cells die, the functions they provide are lost. 

That includes memory, orientation and the ability to think and reason. 

The progress of the disease is slow and gradual. 

On average, patients live five to seven years after diagnosis, but some may live for ten to 15 years.

EARLY SYMPTOMS:

  • Loss of short-term memory
  • Disorientation
  • Behavioral changes
  • Mood swings
  • Difficulties dealing with money or making a phone call 

LATER SYMPTOMS:

  • Severe memory loss, forgetting close family members, familiar objects or places
  • Becoming anxious and frustrated over inability to make sense of the world, leading to aggressive behavior 
  • Eventually lose ability to walk
  • May have problems eating 
  • The majority will eventually need 24-hour care
