- In this film, four people with dementia share their insights and experiences of living with advancing dementia. See SCIE's dementia resources: www.scie.org.uk/dementia/
Staying active and eating well matter greatly and can help a person live well with dementia. Behaviour, learning disability and sensory loss all have an impact.

I want there to be cure for dementia so, so bad. I feel so sad because I miss my mom so much. She's still here physically, but she's not always here mentally. She's so different now.... she suffered through encephalitis and meningitis while on a trip in Hawaii and she hasn't been the same since. She has been diagnosed with having dementia. I wish we had more time. She's only in her forties and her life before all of this was just taken from her. I am 15 years old and it has been almost a year and a half since she got sick. I visit her every Saturday, but it hurts to see her the way she is. I love her very much.
*Update - November 2021:*
Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to read this, as well as for the thoughtful comments! These last 7 years have been long and filled with many ups and downs. Unfortunately, my mom’s health began to decline both gradually and in sudden bursts as her condition inevitably progressed for the worse. I am sad to inform everyone that she passed away two months ago at the age of 51.
On a final note, I urge those who are struggling-whether that be with grief, loss, or overall mental health-to reach out. You deserve to heal and thrive.
+James Temple im very sorry to hear this. Im 17, and i cant imagine what this would be like,
stay strong xx
+Jaimie M Thank you, darling
I am so sorry to hear that man . I cant imagine how this would be like ... Stay strong !
Ghoul 17 Thank you very much :) I can't believe it's been nine months since I posted that comment and kind people like yourself are still messaging me! I really appreciate it. Although these past nine months came and went, I have to say that my mom has been pretty stagnant in her progress. She's gotten better with some things, worse in others. I'm just glad the situation isn't worse than it already is to be honest. But anyway, I hope you have a wonderful day :)
much love brother, I had underwent a massive head injury when I was 12 and I am strangely forgetting things...I had been researching more and more about all this, I hope that you are doing good. I will pray for you.
Barry is a fucking trooper, living 15 years with it and still being able to articulate how he feels
I'm happy for him, he's being able to kind of control the disease, not many can do that.
It just depends what part of the brain is damaged.
Did not even know that it was possible to live that long with it.
@@deezy81 I know. I thought most people only live with it for 10-12 years but man, 15 YEARS, and he can still explain his feelings
@@KenzieNHammerly He is one of the fortunate ones
this is the saddest shit i've seen. they need to have a cure for this
People that play Chess do not get this incurable disease.
@@davidstewart58 not necessarily. That would be dumb
@@general_-rt4bt
Actually, according to some researches, people who keep their minds active as well as people with higher levels of education have lower chances of dementia. Not 0, but it's lower.
indeed peter griffin's pants
..... there is no cure
My mom's coming down with that. I don't know if she can feel that we love her so much. Wish she could have her best possible outcome.
Actually, she is doing better thanks to my sister-in-law's care about her medication and my brother making her living conditions warmer and stuff. She complained that her bones were breaking, for example, and they found that she has arthritis and got her a better painkiller. They found that her sleep meds were wrong, tried a new one, tried another new one, and now she's having so much better days.
How is she now if you dont mind me asking?
I hope your okay .
@@allanultimate Oh, thank you. She had Lewy-Body dementia, and then she broke her femur in a fall, and couldn't recover. She died in 2017 and I got to be there. It really sucked, and then she got to cross over.
@@alberteinstein3078 She crossed over in 2017.
My grand mother has this and she lives with us.. she is almost def and she cannot walk. They said she would die last year. But she is still alive today.She is a true blessing. Yesterday was her birthday.. 😇
Katieloveskittys what age is she? if you don't mind
How is she?
How is she now?
Hope she gets even better, you must be doing a good job caring for your nan. well done
She's likely dead now. Sorry, but thats just the reality of the situation.
Cherish who you have. Usually I'm a pretty selfish person, but I've come to realize that you need to hold on to what you have for as long as you have. My grandma, my second mom basically, is far gone from dementia. Please please please cherish your family and loved ones. :)

If we could find a prevention... we wouldn’t need a cure. My mums had it now for 8 years and I find it hard seeing her the way she is. It’s people like you that deserve much more for doing such a demanding job.💋to all the carers.
God bless you Paula. You have the most important job in the world, and one of the most undervalued. I will continue to devote my life to you and all the other carers. Thank you for everything you do.

Judy... what a wonderful woman. Even as she is so deep into the dementia her sense of humour pops up it's head ... "I know who I am.... got that one down!" ... lovely brave soul. What a horrid disease is dementia but the more I learn about it, the less I fear it. With understanding and knowledge there is no need for distress or fear, and happiness is still possible. I hope there will be a cure and/or prevention some day soon.
I feel so bad for her. it just makes me feel so sad because she wants to do thing but now she cant and she thinks about what she should've done before and it's really sad to me.

@Jonathan Thomason do you know who else has ms and alzheimers?
MY MOM WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Just lost my mom to this horrible disease this morning! She took her last breath at 5:14am on Nov 21, 2021. In her case, she went in to hospice 5yrs ago. Dementia took away her ability to walk, then her ability to recognize, then after 3 strokes, her ability to eat, swallow and ultimately her ability to breathe! Terrible thing to have to witness your parent take their last breath! Rest In Peace mom! I will see you on the other side one day.
💖💕❤️💖💪🙏
I lost my mum to vascular dementia on boxing day 2021, and her older brother on 15th January 2022 to Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. (And Delta Covid took a good friend of mine on 19th December 2021.) Mum was still locked inside her 76 year body, but at the end, she was totally helpless. She passed in my arms, at 11:15pm on boxing day night, at home. Seeing my mum and best friend fade like that, and knowing that there's nothing I could do to make things right again, has left me devastated. Every time I see the advert for the Cadbury's big Easter egg hunt, I wish I could hide an Easter egg in heaven for my mum to find, so she'd know for sure I'd not forgotten her. I'm lost without my mum. The worst thing for me was seeing Mother's Day adverts, and remembering that I don't have a mum any more.
❤ 🙏
I work in a memory care unit and I’m seeing all walks of the dementia life. From the people that are just diagnosed and still trying to understand the diagnosis, then to the people that we fully care and do everything for. Rest in peace to your beautiful mother❤️
Same happn with m mon 😔😪😪she was not able to get she wa in bed in hostal was not speaking not eating she gave her last brth on ventilator my mumm my life my jannn she was my alll 😪😪😪😪
My grandma has this illness. Today was the first day I visited her in 4 weeks as I’ve been away with the navy. When I walked her home she said she didn’t know who I was. This really played on my heartstrings as usually I visit here every 2-3 days and she knows who I am quite well. I don’t have much more to say about dementia...it’s truly an awful thing
As a caregiver to currently 9 residents with this awful disease... they do have moments of clarity. Hang in there and visit as often as you can. Sing to her... apparently music is stored everywhere in the brain. Don't give up on her.

You can't forget breathing. It's an automatic mechanism and has nothing to do with "remembering to do it"
@@c_01m26 that's how most people die of it, do your research. well.blogs.nytimes.com/2016/04/05/ask-well-how-do-you-die-from-alzheimers/
@@c_01m26 thats not how it works...the way it works is the lung, as in the organ itself, stops functioning because the brain sending signals to the lung to do its thing, doesnt anymore. So without yoor brain sending signals, the organs are useless and dont work at all. Hence, why brain death occurs and the organs stop working. Think about a gun shot. A headshot or shot in the brain is the only shot that can kill you instantly. Getting shot in the throat, heart, liver, etc, you never die instantly....if the brain goes, EVERYTHING goes with it. This is also why people with dementia usually just go to the bathroom whenever and whereever they feel like. The colon stomach bladder etc is not working how it used to. I can go on and on but yes thats how it works. Not as automatic as you think. I know this because I work in a dementia ward and with neurologists aka brain doctors...
@@MarkyMarkTeamAmerica can u get a link to your workplace domain? where you worked alongide neurologists?
This is a disheartening but honest documentary. I can see the pain in their eyes-- how they don't want to hurt their loved ones but they can't do anything.
This was uploaded almost 7 years ago, they must be dead by now from this horrible disease. God bless their souls.

Dementia doesnt take away a persons identity. Like Judy says, its always been her. Shes always been in there.
What Dementia does is take away peoples ability to express themselves, which is arguably even scarier. Slowly you start to lose all the ways to show others what you experience.
No man, I'm going through it with my mother, it takes everything, including your identity.

Even with dementia she still had regret for the things she didn’t do. If there’s something you want to do. Or something you want to experience. DO IT! Even if you know it’s a bad idea. Stay smart and learn your lessons. But whatever you do. Don’t leave room for regret when you can’t do those things.
Such a sad disease. God bless them all

It’s so weird how we age then some of us end up just like we were when we were babies
I know right
Once a man, twice a child.
It happens more with people who don't really have any hobby/interests and or try to occupy there mind with anything atall.the brain will just give up. :-( my mum has dementia and this is exactly the case with her.
@@COLLECTORSCORNER1979ANT What do you mean???
@@tinyred4512 The lack of stimulation on early stage dementia will speed up the process, You won't have to worry in your younger life (up to 50 or so) and being healthy.
I’m currently living in a nursing home and rehab facility recovering from a stroke and watching some of these ladies with dementia can be so heartbreaking, my neighbor yells”help”24/7 but I watched our nurse go to her a few weeks ago and talk with her, never heard this woman say anything other than “help”. The nurse said “I love you, Kay!” And Kay said it back to the nurse, then the nurse blew her a kiss and Kay returned the gesture. And it was so very sweet, the following week was nurse appreciation week and I wrote her a letter of how I witnessed that beautiful interaction and told how she is a beautiful person and how happy seeing that made my heart feel, the letter ended up making her cry...or maybe because she is like 5-6 months pregnant
You are a very beautiful person yourself!!💜 How are you doing these days? I hope that you are fully recovered from your stroke?🙏
Do you know who else is living in a nursing home?
MY MOM WOOOOOOOOOOOO
You seem like an amazing person, I hope your health is recovering well, we need your sweetness in this world ❤️
Nobody who HASN'T had to live through this hell, can possibly hope to understand just how devastating it is to see someone who is your world, fall apart in front of you. The worst thing about it all for me, was that I knew I could do nothing to save my mum. Just 7 days before, I'd lost a friend to delta covid. (19th December 2021.) Then My mum passed in my arms at home, on 26th December 2021 at 11:15pm GMT. And then I lost my mum's older brother at 4:25pm GMT on 15th January 2022. That's 3 members of my inner world I lost in just under a month. I know I'll never get over this!
Hope you’re doing okay somehow
How did 38 people feel like disliking this 😡😡😡😡😠 and 38 dislikes sitting on couch. These old people are sharing their problems and it saddens to see them struggling with their old bodies 😞😞😞😞.

"Everywhere at the end of time" is a 6h long music album that portrays what it is like for a dementia patient to live with it. It made me cry, it is one of the saddest albums i have ever listened. I can't even imagine how it is for these people living with this disease.

I wish there was a cure for dementia my grandmother has it and it's so hard to see her like this I pray to God for a cure
It's just a burning memory...
I guess we were both brought by the same entity
Damn, it truly does articulate and visualize what it feels like, a dread, a void. Its like a flower, the once blooming flower has decayed and widowed to its last remaining pedals. Its sad and unfortunate that many uncurable diseases still have no cure. But eventually we will be able to help those who need it the most.
Everywhere at the end of time...

get out of my head
My dad has dementia and I sleep with him every night and hear all his childhood memories
I take care my grandma on daily basis and dealing with this disease is by far the hardest thing I’ve even done .. I feel so bad for her , some days she’s just so lost .. pray for her !
That touching scene between Judy and her daughter Brought me to ears :'(, my mom has recently been diagnosed with a rare form of dementia as she is only 53. Everyday is a struggle as my mom is very low and carnt come to terms with being diagnosed with this condition. It's so nice to see someone who understands what it's like to care for someone with dementia as right now I feel alone. I will always be there for my mom and the joys on these people's face round their family's make me string enough to look after my mom too so thanks for this upload xx

RIP
My dad is in a beautiful nursing home with dementia and it breaks my heart when it happens while im there.
Love him so much i just wish it never happened
Great stories
Thank you
I live with my grandfather. This video has truly helped me understand another reason to not be upset with him. To accept him and do my best to help him be comfortable.
I work with folks with dementia too and mental disabilities - I can't imagine wanting to do anything else
The rewards are enormous
I'd love to be part of a team delivering end of life care - what a privilege that would be
I had meningitis a couple of years ago. The first symptom I remember is me trying to make a cup of tea, getting it all wrong. I grabbed the milk and almost poured it in the fridge. After I got back from the hospital I found a teabag in my toilet. I know it's not the same, but it affected my brain quite severely. At my worst point I couldn't speak. Even if I was lucid and tried to concentrate on saying the words all that came out was gibberish. I was so scared. I felt locked inside my body. Luckily I made a full recovery and I can walk and talk again, but I'll never forget that existential horror.
This is so sad! It brings back memories of when I cared for Rose who had dementia. She used to say, "Peggi, my mind is all scrambled up" and "I am lost in space.' It is also very dangerous for the caregiver's health! We feel so many different emotions as well as feeling powerless. The Inspired Caregiver book was created for the health of the caregiver. It is a book to read and re-read bits of it when we need strength and inspiration.
I almost ran Rose over. Someone was watching her while I drove to the bank to pay all her bills. On my way home, driving up the hill and around the corner, I slammed on my brakes. There Rose was in the middle of the street. Rose had made her bed look like she was still sleeping in it - and then she snuck out of the house. It was strange how slow I was driving up the hill. I just happened to be driving extra slow, and thank goodness I was!
I hope they cure dementia soon! It is rising in alarming rates and this is unacceptable with all of the brilliant minds out there!
Thank you for sharing a great video. I am amazed that Barry can actually talk about his dementia. Rose was not able to comprehend this. Cruel disease for both the caregiver and the patient.
The Inspired Caregiver Book Thank you for your comment I have been a Live-in carer for a dementia patient for some time now and it is nice to know that there are others who feel the same about this terrible illness . Seems such a terrible waste of such great minds . My client is amazing and I only wish that I could help more .
You must be a wonderful caregiver, because you care about your client and you are watching youtube videos on the subject. I do hope a cure is found- and quick. I hope you take good care of yourself too. :)
I am my grandfather caretaker and he has severe dementia, it's so so so difficult, I absolutely hate this disease, I'm just grateful I'm able to take care of my papa at the stage in his life when he really cant do it on his own.
Everywhere at the end definetely helped us understand how dementia feels
I lost my great grandmother to Dementia over 3 years ago. She was put into a carehome a few months before her death. I wasn't allowed to see her much in the home. I remember before she went into the home, she could barely remember who I was and she kept calling me my sister and my cousin's names. I didn't know she had it at the time, so I just brushed it off as her being old... god I was stupid. I wish I could spend more time with her.
my grandmother is 92 & my mother is 63 both have dementia its hard to live with a person with it they Always hiding things & everyday is a blessed day to have them on earth with me
My body is going to betray me one day for sure..but I wish that my mind should never...
Currently, my grandma, who is 92 years old, was diagnosed with dementia a few years back. It is heartbreaking that she doesn't remember her grandchildren's names, or her children's. She starts crying all of the sudden, and when we tell her why, she responds she doesn't have any money to provide us since she is broke. In other occasions, she tells my aunts where is she and this isn't her house. I only get to see her once a year, since she lives in another country, so I don't have the opportunity to see her often. I don't talk to her at all, due to being an introvert, but I know now that I got to take every minute of chance with her and show she is loved.
Fabulous honest film - nothing glossed over but essential essence of each person 'shines through' Really communicates the sadness of the experience and the determination of the human spirit to cope. And of course the importance of others being supportive
I just lost my mother to this horrible disease at the age of 94. Just four years ago we celebrated her 90th birthday and she was as healthy as she could be. Two years later it struck her. It was awful watching her slowly slip away.
It's happening to my mom right now and I am her sole care giver. I am trying my best just to have her retain one single memory: our address. I never sleep properly anymore because I'm afraid she'll leave our apartment and get lost. She keeps thinking we live somewhere else besides where we have lived for 28 years. The problem, as you well know, is that trying to have her retain any memory is like putting paper boats with messages written on them onto a flowing stream which takes them away almost immediately. She is even starting to not to understand me when I speak to her, among many many other issues. She's been put on Aricept but it has only been two days so I am praying that in a couple months there might be some improvement, at least enough so that I can have at least one more real conversation with the person I always knew as my mom instead of this new person who looks like mom but really isn't. I feel like crying all the time and I'm what people might refer to as a "tough guy" or someone who appears tough, but I'm broken inside now and I have no other family.
My mom has this and i feel like i’m grieving her while she’s still here Nobody understands the feeling nobody understands the loss I miss my mom and yes she’s here but she’s not my mom she’s just there 😢
I'm literally crying my mom came in and see me in tears 😞 I wish the best life for those who have it
I’m going to help my mum not become like this, I’m 15 and she’s 44 I want to help her prevent this. I couldn’t bare to see my mother like this
Medicine is improving so by that time we should have a medication.
I'm in my 40s and 2 family members had strokes and dementia and my mum had a stroke, mid 60s. Possibly looking at my own future. Enjoy your family now, when the future comes that's another story.
She reminds me so much of my grandmother.. she was acting the same as her.. she passed away this year, rip ❤️
I am goin to show my staff this video. Very powerful.
I appreciate the folks who took their time to describe their experiences.
Poor Judy, I want to give her a hug so badly. 😭
It's not possible to truly understand what it's like, to have lost so much of yourself, and to _know_ what you've lost, until you're there. And then the cruel irony is, you can't really articulate it.
A friend of mine's mother had a bilateral stroke and she survived, but survived with severe dementia...her living conditions are so difficult for someone so young and I just hope I can support her well enough to get through such a difficult stage in her life...
"let me live" is the most heart wrenching thing i have ever heard, Dementia is so terrifying and i personally know someone close that has some sort of dementia and its tough to watch. God bless these fantastic human beings for giving us the time to speak with them
My gran has Alzheimer’s, she refuses to go in a care home and refuses to take her pills. She is just taking each day as it comes as she doesn’t want any help. I fear for her life 😢
Caretaker/EATEOT stage 2: "I still feel as though I am me."
Judy: "It's still me...it's still me." Poor lady looks to be well beyond stage 2.
My mom is only in her 40s and I’m 17 and she’s coming down with dementia :(
Sorry to hear , may god give you strength to deal with this desease . God bless you and your mother . Praying for you
my grandmother is my world my everything I hadn't seen her in 3years when I saw her broke out in tears 3days I cried she didn't even no me why will she ever
I always come back to this video.
I'm amazed by the ability of these four people to articulate so clearly about their dementia. At first I thought they must be actors, as it is very rare to have this kind of vocabulary, sentence structure, and clarity of thought with dementia, but the description says otherwise. It was very brave of them to share their feelings.
My mother went through a period of heavy depression during the time she was aware of what was happening to her brain from the Vascular Dementia. Those were the hardest days between denial and no longer understanding. While the dementia medications did nothing to help, an antidepressant has contributed a huge improvement in her quality of life and mine as her caregiver. We've used Extra Virgin Coconut oil for years, and have only seen improvement in her energy level and constipation. Really hope a major breakthrough is right around the corner!
My grandmother had dementia and alzhimers and i watched as the woman who pretty muched raised me slowly became more and more confused and afraid, i wish i could say theres a happy ending to this story but there isnt, we couldnt take care of her and we had to have her placed in a nursing home and a few months later she died of a pulminary embolism, her last words before she died were " im scared" and that is going to haunt me every day for the rest of my life until i die.
i just want to hug Ms. Judy so much and cry...
Brilliant film, thank you.

My Mom is living with this, We moved her in with two of my Sisters. We all take care of her including the grandkids. It’s hard but we make it and support each other. I feel for everyone who goes through this. My Mom lately has been seeing her dead relatives and she sees evil people on TV . She lived a full beautiful life and it’s so hard to see my Mom like this. Praying for All.❤
My grandmother had a still birth, then had a daughter who died from pneumonia at six months and then she had bowel cancer, had to have a hysterectomy, and ten years after that, my grandfather died from cancer and then my aunt who had epilepsy died the same year my grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer, and since my aunt's death she slowly started to deteriorate. Now, she's had vascular dementia for three years. Life has been so cruel to her and I hope that if there is a God, he will reward her greatly for enduring such a harsh life
Jesus. How the hell did ya'll's genetics make it to modernity 🤣🤣
its so sad. people have listened to the album, and cried over it. but thats 6 hours long. these people have the experience a single stage everyday, even for years. people have lost people due to dementia. and its horrible. to live life, and then one day just... you cant remember anything. ever again. i truly hope we find a cure for it one day.

My great grandma Had it and passed away years ago. Now my grandma deals with it. Also, my grandpa is starting to get it as well. It's really sad to see my loved ones deal with it. I decided to take my experiece with loved ones dealing with it and I am trying to write it in the point of view of the person who deals with it.
My grandpa has dementia and it’s so sad how quick things happen he was only healthy for a little bit of my childhood
I'm 32 years old and my mom was diagnosed with dementia, she slowly starting to show, it's scary because I don't have any brothers or sister my dad, not in the picture so but my mom has my stepdad but his health is not doing so well so its just sad cause the women i saw as a warrior and could take on anything is slowly starting to go, and its much harder cause im alone on this
My mom has this too and is deteriorating rapidly. Its been an emotional month for us. I guess i am fortunate to have a great dad and sister for help and support but its so hard and it seems every day is getting harder just to try and feed her. God help us all PLEASE
@@jojoseven5911 My prayers will be with you. It’s a horrific disease that I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy…
My grandma was diagnosed with dementia and is hard to hear she can’t care for herself now and she raised me. She is definitely not the lady that raised me anymore. My mom has. a hard time even getting her to talk to me. The only silver lining is I got to spend time with her before the onset since I don’t go back to my hometown much. Thanks for sharing this.
It's incredible how self-aware Barry and Olive are. I have a grandfather who's completely unaware of it. I was referred to as ’a boy in the house’ today. He used to have a bottle of wine nearly every night and it's definitely damaged his nerve cells.
MY aunti drank cider every day and was an alcoholic. I wasnt very clsoe to her. However she got dementia at 55 and died. Definitely the alcohol
If you still have your grandparents or parents with you and you fear that they would have dementia or any worse. I want you to spend as much time with them as possible, it is worth spending every memory with them.
it's just a burning memory...
i dont have words, this is just proof that mental disorders can be up to worse than physical ones.

Dementia is not a mental disorder it's a neurological disorder with biological causes unlike mental illness that is invented.
I’ve learned so much about this disease. Get their Ferritin and iron saturation blood levels checked. Get scan of their liver sizes. Sometimes hidden liver issues can cause similar symptoms to dementia. May be able to lessen the symptoms if you find out soon enough.
More detail. Age diagnosed, present age, etc. Helps get a clearer picture of progress of disease.
People like Judy really don't deserve this shit. I'm happy she still can recognize her daughter still loves her after everything
My grandad has dementia, it’s horrible to see him this way 😪 i wish there was something to cure this evil shit
My grandmother came down with it just over 2 years ago. She's been starting to ask where her husband is, who passed away 18 years ago. She still knows who all of us are, but I know that it won't get any better. She's the toughest lady I've ever known, and I want to go down & see her every chance I can, even while I'm away.
My mum has dementia.its really not easy to live with someone who has this horrible disease.my mum was angry enough before.but now she is on a whole new level.she has well & truly lost the plot and gets very angry about even tiny little things.even the very simplest of tasks have now become near on impossible for her to do with her just staring into space trying to work out how & what to do.she even somehow manages to slam soft close kitchen cupboard Doors and is constantly opening the oven door when she is trying to cook anything.she has now got to the point where she is getting very dangerous.we very nearly had a fire cos she left a cloth on the hob, luckily I was nearby to stop this happening. :-(
She also forgets conversations just seconds after they happened.sometimes denying the conversation even happened atall.
After all it’s just a burning memory...
I can’t with this right now

Oh wow , I heard 2 or 3 years ago from My sister that they thought my mom was in the early stages of dementia but didn't really make to big a deal of it . So. since then I only thought about it during the 2 or3 times that I actually spoke to her because I could tell that it was starting to take effect just a little bit. Like she couldn't remember how old her grand son was even though she was the one who just finished raising him and allowing him to move out about 3 weeks before . She had to ask my stepfather how old he was. She told me that he was only 14 years old , but I said mom if he was still 14 years old you wouldn't have let him move out. Then she asked my stepfather and he told her that he was just about to turn 18 in a couple of weeks . After the last time I spoke to her , I kind of didn't think of it again. I ended up losing all of my social media accounts and didn't have any way to get in contact with her until I just bought a phone 2 weeks ago. Last night around 5:00 pm I was talking to my to my niece on Facebook and she let me know how different my mom had become . I instantly felt an enormous sadness and cried. You see I can't be there for my mom because she lives in Alexandria , Ontario and I live in Vancouver BC. I definately can't afford to buy plane ticket there and back or even one way. From the way my niece was talking she may have already forgotten who I am It hurts sooooo bad🛩️❤️😰

If the patient is blind and can not hear, something we always try is to get the family to remember what music and songs they loved playing and listening to when they could communicate and connect to have those memories come flowing back, and by making them tapes.
God this is heart wrenching
My heart and prayers go out to all of them my sister-in-law has a little bit of dementia sooner or later we'll probably all will keep your mind focused on Jesus
I take care of my nanny on the weekends she has dementia it is the hardest thing I've watched a family member have. I hate it for her, I hate it for my family. There should be a cure it is almost to much and it's not my battle but it feels like it, I can't imagine how my aunt feels having all week care.... I hate these desease.

My great grandmother has it thanks for the vid
This guy is fortunate,15 years & still have this capacity..I'm kind of waiting for my moms second death, the person she was what made here is long gone..everything ! death # 1 Whats left is the physical death # 2..I love who she was & will see to it she has everything & taken care of the right way..thats why it will be by me…it's beyond any kind of wordage to even try to capture the experience in words they fall way way way short.
"second death" is not something I'd considered as a thing. It's eerie, ominous, and heartbreaking. I hope you and your mom find solace in the end.
Not really living, more so existing
They still have purpose even though they will probably never know. As a caregiver in a home... I've become much more patient and have learned to be more positive every day. If they only exit to help others do the same... at least that's something I guess. Still so heartbreaking!!
My great grandpa had dementia. He was the handyman of the neighborhood when he was young, but as he aged you could never tell he was that man before. It’s really sad
My papa had this he got to a point where he only knew my name he was such a good man
It's tough to care for a person who is suffering dementia. My granny was diagnosed with dementia a few months ago and that I know exactly how painful it is. Throughout browsing time, I coincidentally unearthed a noteworthy website presents info about a potential cure to dementia.
My mother was diagnosed with dementia in 2010, she started showing signs that something was wrong in 2009 at the age of 55. She does not speak much now but I guess it's better than the fits of agitation she once had especially when it was bath time. She suffered a head injury around 2003 and had to have a cheek implant. We often wonder if that could have led to her having this at such an early age.
After 5 years?
6 years now
Thank you.
she said "just to be here" talking about her family, i lost it at that point, bless them all
