Average American Definitely Not Spy Shirt, Hoodie, Sweater, Longsleeve T-Shirt

After watching this video, i wish Average American Definitely Not Spy Shirt had. Maybe it would have helped her understand the process a little better, at least in the beginning. Since she’s been gone i have avoided anything dementia-related but after watching your video, i realize there is a lot going on inside of me that i have yet to acknowledge (i was diagnosed with stage 3c breast cancer 3 days after she passed away, so i’ve been rather busy anyway, this feels like a very safe place to be to start examining the last few years of my mom’s life and my part in it.

Thank you for your bravery and willingness to share your experience. My mom passed away almost 11 yrs. Ago after going through it the last 2 yrs. Of her life. I had lived with my mom my entire life (44 yrs.) And with no siblings or children of my own to help me, my only shoulder to lean on was my fiancé.

It was one of the hardest things to go through, watching your best friend slip away into her own little world. She only spent the last 3 months in a nursing home because she wouldn’t listen to me anymore which meant not eating. She felt as if my dad was coming to get her (he had passed in 1983) and on aug. 23, 2006 he did. I won’t watch this.

I know how horrible this disease is. My mother died in 2002 after living with alzheimer’s for over 10 years. What did i lose? My mother, my best friend, my dad’s wife, my son’s grandmother, the smile on her face, the sparkle in her eyes, her strong opinions on issues that are important to women, her support and guidance through the years, her sense of fashion, her wonderful pies, cookies, and bread.

I could go on and on. I choose not to think of her when she was in a nursing home unable to speak, walk or feed herself. I keep the memory of the most important woman on my life close to my heart. I don’t need to see how other families suffer from their loved one being afflicted with this heinous disease.

I lived it. Went through that with my mom, we went out for dinner, her favorite place, and while i was away from the table she asked my dad how long he knew me! The only people she recognized were my dad and my niece, not my brother or myself! Very disheartening and know it’s hard when your Average American Definitely Not Spy Shirt gets to that point!
