had a chance to visit mom today. Took her even longer to remember me this time. And she kept asking when grandma was coming. Dementia sucks.
The funny thing about Dementia... it fuzzes up the mind in various areas & stages. Memory recall, chronological sequence, & imagination.

*hugs* i'm sorry to hear this...
MidnightsDriver
says

MidnightsDriver
thinks
I would rather be put down than to lose my mind to dementia.
daphnemaia
says
me too. it's sad for the people around us..
MidnightsDriver
says
there's a whole roller-coaster of emotions that I wouldn't wish on anyone.
daphnemaia
says
i can't even begin to imagine what it's like. the nearest i've been to it is when i watched "the notebook" n i thot it was damn sad already.
MidnightsDriver
says
'The Notebook' touches the surface of it. There's more to it. The physical deterioration as a result of loss of appetite...
MidnightsDriver
says
... which is a result of the mind hallucinating and imagining things.
MidnightsDriver
says
and when the body is deprived of food, all sorts of other ailments start to set in.
daphnemaia
says
yea it calls for a lot of strength from family members of the patient.. *hugs*
MidnightsDriver
says
it's hard seeing the woman who gave life to me and brought me up wasted away to a ghost of her former self.
daphnemaia
says

i'm sure she will be happy even if for a while...
i'm sure she will be happy even if for a while...
MidnightsDriver
says

MidnightsDriver
says
