My mum has dementia (not Alzheimers). Every time we see her she has deteriorated. We are on tenterhooks awaiting the inevitable.

How tragic! My grandad is losing himself everyday and he has forgotten almost everything. It really is like you can physically see the person but can never forget what she/he used to at be in the past. it’s like death.
I am going through the same thing with my mother, she has first stages of dementia. She goes in, and out and helping her with some legal issues she was placed in due to others trying to take advantage of her. I have been on tenterhooks too. It’s not fun seeing your mother like this.
Thank you for sharing. Definitely not fun at all.
Thank you everyone for your support
Hi, Alan. I certainly can relate, to what you’re going thru. Words cannot adequately convey the pain you must be feeling. Thinking of you and your mum. Blessings!
I’m sorry to hear that, it’s tragic. It’s an elongated loss. It hurts. My mother had several strokes before she died and I remember getting the call and driving 400 miles to get to the hospital and being ushered into her room. She was annoyed when the nurse turned on the light so we could talk, but she didn’t know who I was, or even that I was there. It was a moment in time I’ll never forget, it was as though I’d been completely erased.
Thanks for sharing. We doubt our mum remembers us. She was always there for us and now it’s our time to offer her support.
Awesome your able and willing to be there for her. Your love and dedication, touches my heart and soul.
