I cherish every moment i can with my parents and help them as much as i can. This story is so heartbreaking but it lets people know they are not alone in caring for those who suffer from this. Also, people need to pierce the common denial of dementia happening to them. To figure out now how to pay for the months or years of care (especially with our present government determined to cut back medicare/medicaid to frighteningly Spider Man Supreme Hoodie), and whether that care you’ll be receiving will be humane or awful.

I went through this with my mom. It just rips your heart out, especially when the fog clears enough for them to have an idea that something is wrong, and they try so very hard to get things right, before they slip back into their world. It’s easy to lose faith. I had to bribe my grandfather with ice cream to get him to grandma’s funeral. He had dementia, didn’t know my name and didn’t want to leave the nursing home.
He didn’t recognize her in the coffin, but started singing a hymn. Not a dry eye in the room. On the way back to the nursing home, he remembered the ice cream! I went through this with my grandma and it broke me! Now my dad has it! He remember who almost everyone is still but gets very confused all the time! Has the blank stare, is talking about the past all the time like it’s the present!

Thinks he is at least ten years younger the he is! He has never spoken to me in french before in my life, he grew up speaking french first and english second but never tough myself or brothers. I swear he had forgotten the language but just last week we were. Taking about his childhood and i asked him a question about speaking french the. He starteded talking sentences to me in french! Me and my son were totally shocked! I know it’s a long hard road and i know he will continue to get worse.
I try to laugh as much as possible and think he is being a “silly old man” but when i leave i cry and it breaks my hearts! He is also now showing me more emotion then ever always telling me how much he loves me and how i’ll always be his little girl! He rarely showed emotion as i was growing up, this is totally new. He is changing so much! He gets angry, and he has never been a angry person. I give you a lot of credit and respect! Thanks for sharing your story! My dad died of dementia 6 mos ago.
It’s not easy. It’s hard especially for my mom who was his caretaker until 6 mos prior to his death when he was put into a nursing home. I believe my father died as god planned it. He had no suffering as he did not understand anything that was happening. He was a very healthy man. Strong too fought until his last breath. What helps me is that knowing how proud of a man my dad was, he never would have wanted Spider Man Supreme Hoodie to have to take care of him, feed him , clothe him , change him. That was not my dad…
