    I once had a next door neighbor who had Alzheimer's disease and I was so young that I didn't know what it was. I remember him looking over the hedge to the garden and ask me what all the flowers were called. he would do this everyday. each day I would tell him, thinking it was all a joke and I would have a great time telling him all of the flower names. I would tell him about the foxgloves and the hydrangeas and each day he would look at me with pure joy and fascination. he's now left to live in a nursing home because he can not remember even the simplest of things. it was so hard for me when he left because he was like a best friend to me and I know its not as close as a family member but it made feel so happy each time I saw him look at the flowers in my garden with such bright eyes and when he left every time I looked at the flowers it felt like something was missing.

      @loutenant2817 5 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      I'm losing my dad to Alzheimer's. But he's in a worse condition than the people on here.
      He has a good long term memory but he can't walk anymore, you can barely understand him and he has a hard time eating. One of his hands is completely disabled. Had a stroke.
      It was extremely difficult to accept at first. I was still in high school when we got the news, didn't really know what Alzheimer's was.
      Took 2 years of being bedridden to finally come to terms with it. However I believe that I'm still in denial. How else can I talk about it so easily.

    • @loutenant2817

    I worked at a nursing home for a couple of months, and I had this one resident who just stood out from all the rest. Her nickname was Granny she was so sweet.
    She told me about her wedding day, how she was just so excited she ripped off her wedding gown, ran outside & jumped on the back of her husband's motorcycle and drove away.
    She was so happy to tell me, she had the biggest smile, holding my hands, laughing, and a sparkle in her eye. I will never forget that moment.

    The woman in the yellow shirt laughs and it's so heartbreaking because you can clearly tell that her laugh is just a masque hiding her fears. My grandpa used to do the same, always making jokes about his Alzheimer when he forget little things like his glasses or keys. He knew I was always afraid he could one day just doesn't remember me but he promised me, and I will never forget his words "Before I forget about you, I will rather die".
    Then, 2 months ago, we visited him and he started crying and laughing both because he just couldn't tell who my father, his son, is.
    The next day he committed suicide.
    He always remembered me.

    I feel like I'll eventually have Alzheimers when I get older. I already forget simple things every day. I get days mixed up and it's difficult for me to learn anything new because I can't remember it. This makes college hard.. I have to read a page 6 times for it to stick.

    • @Yakumoki
      @Yakumoki 7 ปีที่แล้ว +269

      It could just be the stress, please don't worry too much about this now. Is it very very rare that younger people get this disease. Are there days where you are fine, like on the holidays? Believe that you are intelligent, and have a very good memory ^_^ the mind is amazing. Make a planner, write down what you need to do. Sometimes we need help to remember because life gets stressful and we can misplace things and forget where we put our keys. If you feel that really something isn't right, go to the doctor. There are some early tests they can do.

    • @happypillcompilations9497

      Larissa Joelle that's usually due to sleep or dehydration

    • @AM-gv9db
      @AM-gv9db 6 ปีที่แล้ว +62

      Larissa Joelle you can think of Alzheimers as having your brain being eaten up slowly. Parts of your brain is slowly destroyed and you loose brain function over time. Being forgetful is not Alzheimers, it's just being forgetful. Maybe parts of your memory center is damaged/underdeveloped, or you might just have a bad memory, but that doesn't mean your brain is deteriorating.

    • @Heythere8008
      @Heythere8008 6 ปีที่แล้ว +52

      Telling yourself you’ll eventually have Alzheimers is putting it out for the universe to take. Call things upon yourself as though they shall not happen, say you will not have Alzheimers when you get older, say you remember things daily and you’re mind will start to change. Stop accepting negativity into your life.

    I'm 21 years old and I work as a caregiver for the elderly. Even though it's not my career and just a way to pay for journalism school, I'll always cherish the moments I spent with people in the last days of their lives and how much I learned from them. It's given me so much perspective on where I am relatively in life and where I want to be when I reach the end. What really matters in life is who you loved and who loved you. There is no regret in love, and this video shows that powerfully.

    This is one of my biggest fears. Having to see a loved one, especially my mother or father, struggle with something like Alzheimer's disease would shatter my heart. I'd feel so helpless yet all I'd wanna do is help them remember everything. My heart goes out to these beautiful people.

      Dont try to push a memory on them. Be gentle and if they dont remember you, accept it.
      I know its hard, i work with those people...
      Try to make their day and entertain them, give them and you more memorys.
      Even if they wont remember, they will be happy.
      They still live their lives... try to act normal.
      Most of their personality is still there.

    • @sericopie

      I don't really think it's negative. Its almost as if some of these people are already dead. I think people need to be put out of their suffering (Physical suffering) at certain points. Im not advocating suicide, just saying with irreversible things like this, death is a better option.

      I hate the idea of immortality. I don't think it will make our lives any more optimal by living longer and eradicating mental disease associated with that. Of course its very sad at the moment, but it is inevitable. These people have lived long, happy, nurturing, fulfilling lives, all of us have. We need to appreciate this beauty and accept that the time will come. Some inevitabilities are okay, and optimally, we will live for just the right amount of time with minimal disease. Balance between life and death, as well as sickness and health, is important to our wellbeing.

    My great grandmother had alzheimers when she was very old already so when we would visit her in the care facility, it was weird because she did not recognise any of us except for me. For some reason when she saw me she would light up like a christmas tree and smile, laugh, talk even though nobody really understood what she was saying. I must have looked like someone that was very important to her maybe one of her kids. It made me happy though to know that even if I was not the person she thought I was, I was still able to be there and make her day :)

    My granpa has Alzheimer's and the one thing in the near 19 years he's had it(im 19 so i never knew him before it) is my mom, at 16 years old, and i, at 4. My mom is now 51 years old. Whenever we go visit him in mexico, he never can seem to remember anyone's name but my mom and i's. I remember one time him not even letting my aunt, who daily visits them since she lives in mexico also, near him when he needed to take his insulin shot unless i was next to him holding his hand. Alzheimer's is a very tricky thicky thing. Its reduced my grandpa to what can essentially be called a young child, because that is how he remembers himself.

    Seeing my grandmother slowly decline is heartbreaking for me. She's not in the late stages of Alzheimer's yet, but I'm terrified for when that time comes. She forgets little things like the date, where she put something a few minutes prior, and she forgot how to cook pasta. Alzheimer's is an awful disease that takes someone away from their family and most of their memories. It hurts me to think about it, and I'm scared that I'll get this disease as well. 😔

      My boyfriends grandmother had it. She used to use calendars like a journal, would write her days down into them. It's incredibly sad to read through them, at some point they just start becoming "I can't remember what I did today" "apparently it's my birthday" "Do I have a family?" and then nothing for the last few months of her life, as she forgot about the calendars all together.
      I'm also terrified I'll get it.

    this video hit close to home, my late great grandmother was diagnosed and it of course only got worse. my mother visited her and had a hard time accepting the fact that her grandmother forgot who she was and forgot her sisters too. it really pained my mom to hear that when they asked her about my grandmother (her daughter) she forgot her too, i'm not sure if it's because she passed over 20 years ago or the disease. my great grandmother would recall memories of having 3 sons, but she had 2 boys and a girl... RIP Great Grandma Dorothy.

Maybe it's the kindness, maybe it's the life in her eyes... The soft voice... Both have alzheimer's. I haven't seen my grandmother in a year in a half, she's in her home not even knowing where or who she is. My poor grandmother. Started her life as a know-nothing infant and ends her life with the same brain.

    Alzheimer's is honestly one of the worst diseases out there. It may not be like the flu or something quick, it's something over time and it takes something very important, memories.
    Memories are things people have always collected, to make them stronger and to basically learn. They make you laugh or some cringe.
    Memories are amazing things, at times. Although not all are good, many are for most people. And it makes me so sad to see people like this, also considering the fact that I've known someone with it. I've even made a painting I've made with the message behind it being, Alzheimer's.
    I really hope that one day there will be a cure and that it will be able to be given to everyone.

    My grandma diagnosed with Alzheimer's, she used wear socking leggies and dress and looks pretty. I don't remember much about her when I was kid, but I do remember she was sweet, gentle, and strong woman. My sister was close to her when she was kid until when we got older, her Alzheimer's getting worst. She got worst in few years ago, she don't remember me, my sister, mom, and her family except her husband. She used told my sister where is her parents and act like three years old that was lost. Now she is heavy Alzheimer's and stayed in her home all day long and laid on the couch. she can't move and need someone take care her like she is a baby, we thought her Alzheimer's will be getting even worst but it didn't. It just gone like nothing happen. But she end up like this, we don't know when it's her time to go but she still there, but it just her body. Her soul is not here, it gone. It was sad to see her like this and I will always remember her, her is still in my memories and I don't want to forget it.
