Dementia is an awful disease and those who suffer with it can not help how they are. God be with all families who struggle with a family member. It is very hard to go through but i will never ever regret taking that time to be with her. God bless. Oh and when i see you cry i cry with you. Every time i left her room i cried. And i cried in front of her too. It’s hard not too. Just love her ok. And continue grieving. Minnie Mouse Fight Like A Girl Shirt is a horrible journey.

I cared for my grandma the last 5 years of her life. It’s so hard watching the person you love so much be so lost and confused. I remember the day she told me “sure i know who you are, you’re the nice lady who takes care of me.” my heart sank. But knowing she was loved and never alone gives me peace. But for anyone who has dementia or loves someone with dementia- never give up. The good days are awesome!! I think it’s very brave to document this. I wish i had. To share something so personal is very, very generous.

It’s so hard to explain dementia, but to see it… For those of us who have lived it it brings back so many memories, good and bad. But even the bad i can look back on and smile. A bad day with her was better than all the days without her. Dementia is not anything to be ashamed of, people saying you shouldn’t record your journey is crazy. One day in the future you’ll have these to remind you and your family of this wonderful woman.

Life is good and bad- even the bad days have moments you’d never want to forget. My heart is with you and your family. Until a person has been through this they will never understand the emotional damage it does to the caretaker. If you see your loved one go from brilliance to crazy and unable to function you think you can deal with it with tolerance and patience. It is more about surviving.

And the loneliness you feel at the loss of that loved ones behavior and inability to touch reality is like being stranded on mars with no hope of rescue. I am going through this now. After taking care of mom for 14 years, i had to place her in a facility. I physically could not care for her (alone) any longer. She still knows who i am but it is impossible to have a conversation with her. She said my grandfather who has been dead for 40 years lives in the facility too. She cannot walk and is often very emotional.

She does not recognise my daughter any longer, but does know who my son and his 7 yr old daughter is. He is making a big effort to stay connected to her. You have to make the effort for toorrow, who knows? I recognise the look on your mom’s face, the blank stare and her admission that she knows she is losing it and tries so hard to get her thoughts expressed in a way you can understand but can’t. Minnie Mouse Fight Like A Girl Shirt is a thief of the mind, memories, the emotions and physical abilities.
