Really made me cry. I took care of my grandmomma before she died of Alzheimer's last year and I still cry every time I think about her.
Sad sister.
So sad, but anyone who has looked after a loved one with dementia will know how hard it is physically and mentally. My heart goes out to anyone/everyone affected by Alzheimer/Dementia. A huge shout out to any caregiver doing this alone! I feel your journey. I feel your pain because I've been there. My mom was also diagnosed in her 60s. Feeling absolutely shattered, heartbroken and drained , working with different physicians across the country with little or no improvement. I was exhausted and overwhelmed to look any further. Crying a lot through frustration, anger and despair, But today with the help of Homeocure Worldwide Natural Medicine, my mother is completely healthy and well again. I think we only need more support and sunlight to overcome this dreadful disease. Search for support regardless and don't stop until you get it. With Homeocure Worldwide treatment, there is hope, don't give up! Check out this blog for useful info️; homeocureworldwide.blogspot.com, Be it any condition, natural treatment and a healthy diet is a road to fast recovery.
this hits me so close to home. my grandma goes out and always goes grocery shopping or buying food for me or my other siblings. just thinking about how this could be my grandma as well. god, this made me cry so much.
i relate to this comment alot.
where is that favourite button? I'm going to watch this again and again. pure work of a genius. Not only does it create awareness but has also given grandmas around the world a lot more love from their grandchildren.
Makes me cry every time. I actually saw this before my grandmother got Alzheimer’s and now that she’s sick I hate myself for taking her happiness and health for granted. I miss the grandma from my childhood everyday and she is in pain now and I feel bad that she doesn’t have the ability to enjoy life anymore.
Oh my god, when she started walking across the street I kept saying, "Please don't cross the street. Please don't cross the street." And when she didn't recognize her son or his wife, I cried so hard.
RIP to the nation’s grandma, Beatrice Chien ❤️ Such an impactful and touching film, one that I will never forget.
I wasn't aware she was a famous actress.
Sometimes I come to watch these kinds of commercials just so I can cry.
me too!

Pretty stupid and selfish son to not be able to figure out what is going on and be more worried about how he LOOKS rather than the good health and well being of his own MAMA!!! WONDERFUL ACTING ALL AROUND and very touching!!!
The old lady is actually a channel 8 actress of you’re singaporean
""What the mind can't remember, the heart never forget""
wth heart cant think
I'm a former caregiver of a patient with dementia. This is an excellent portrayal of the emotional strains families experience coping with dementia in a loved one, different from those which the person with dementia experiences herself. If a viewer doesn't respond with understanding and compassion to this, it clearly demonstrates a failure to grasp the condition of dementia and its implications. Beautifully and compassionately presented by the actors, and obviously very well researched.
saddest thing in this video is not the actual desease, but the reaction of the girl. How can you sit in your living room and let her do everyting shile you yel at her to make you som to eat? and let her go out alone, seing she clearly has difficulty waling? that is so sad
It's hard to say until you've experienced someone in your life who has dementia or Alzheimer's.
It's one of the most insidious diseases around, and being human makes our responses often not in line with how we should respond to others in such need. But none the less it is sad that this is often the case because such diseases are often stigmatized until people in general do not realize that they are actually dealing with someone who has dementia until they are diagnosed.

Angelisa Berwa sometimes.... nearly all the time your family can feel very tired and angry at the loved one suffering.It is a huge burden on all family member's trying to "Be There"for our family member's that have this cruel cruel disease.
As for your question...sometimes families have to try and find their loved on maybe running around with no clothes on and they too can and be allowed to be tired...helpless...and arguing with this person that you love...and vice versa..the sufferer remembers when they were young and still children..and feel they have lost their Mother and Father leaving them all alone as a small child.
I have specialised in Aged Care and Palliative Care and Dementia and Alzhiemers. It is very draining on the actual person suffering and the family and staff...believe me...I did my best to help every elderly resident..in a home or their home and their families to take care of their family member that is suffering.
In my experience...it is crucial that you keep calm and remove the person from the area that made them agitated. ..Or to remove the person that is doing the arguing away from the upset person..and to keep their mind switching around and you would distract them.
1 elderly lady in her 90s was crying in a loungeroom area so I went up to her..and put her hand in mind and asked her "What is wrong" she replied with I want to see my Mommy...so I told her her Mommy would be here to see her very soon that day and when she arrived I would bring her Mom over to her....The lady said thankyou and I gave her a kiss on the cheek and that was it she was calm. Another old lady wanted to ring the police so I found an old retired phone in an old cupboard and gave it to her and she sat there actually talking to the police...who were not there...but to her they were ..and she became calm and happy.
We who look after these lovely elderly people must put all their energy and love into these people and actually tell them that you love them...and that is a BIG IMPORTANT Factor in helping them to be as calm and happy until they are gone.These people actually believe that they are young and try to imagine how scred we all would be if as "Real Children" how we would like to be treated by our families in a loving caring compassinate way ...and while they sit in those big comfy chairs staff put them in all day..with the only contact they get is "Here Elsie take your meds or drink this or we are giving you s shower because you have soiled your underwear." These people deserve RESPECT and love in many forms...and always remember that they all should be treated like it was you living with all that horrible confusion.
Bless you all that are kind and caring towards these wonderfil people..that used to work go to School have loving families and would help us if we needed it.
Final word from this crazy Australian...who has and are still practicing what I am preaching ...
THESE VERY VERY WISE WORDS TOLD BY A GOOD PERSON THAT JUST HAPPENS TO BE ME LOL.....
THEY HAVE ALWAYS SAID "CHILDREN ARE OUR FUTURE." ....
I Disagree completely
"PEOPLE SITTING IN THOSE BIG CHAIRS all day...get our pants changed a couple of times a day if we are lucky..spoon fed shit we probably have NEVER eaten in our lives get woken up at 6 am ...telling us it's Breakfast time...and yet we have worked all our lives..and as young people looked forward to sleep in and rest for days on end that we deserve to have lives like that...and be respected by all
THESE PEOPLE ARE OUR FUTURE'S!
This is so sad it made me cry cause I have a grandmother and she takes care of me and I am very scared that one day she would die.....😔😣🙁😢😭
i believe in Ur saying too maybe she never think the consequences
I hardly cry but this little video made me cry, how cruel is this illness
Very cruel. I've known a few who suffered from it. Now the husband of a colleague has it. He's 82.
Great film. It's so sad to see someone's mind deteriorate...
Bravo! Ah mah actress should be given a grammy award; so original, so real, so close to hearts. Grand daughter isn't bad either. Cheers! Made me tears...
Oh my. That was about the saddest thing I've seen lately. I cried wanting so bad to help that old lady.
This video speaks to me in so many ways. My grandmother suffers from dementia and it saddens me so much that she can't even recall all the great memories we shared together. It was her birthday recently and we spent it together in the hospital telling her how much i love her over and over again..no matter how many times for her to get it.
This is 1 of the most powerful short video's I have ever watched. I never fail to cry at this. I teach aged care and about dementia and I suggest to my students that they watch this. They always do and come back to me with some heartfelt comments. The sad part is the son and daughter-in-law and how they hadn't come to terms with it.
I am 70,even though dementia is not happen to me now, everyday I pray before sleep for not to wake up again because of being poor at the old age .
Been almost 3months when my grandfather left. I regret so much, lazing around and not bothering to see him. I never got to see him smile before he left since he was in a terrible fight with pneumonia for 2weeks before he died. Despite the dementia, everyone's grandparents LOVE us and worry about us ALL THE TIME. We should be patient with them, show them a lot of affection. :')
My grandmother doesn't remember things at times. This reminds me of my grandmother. She took care of me when I was young. I still love her even tho she has trouble remembering my name.
this made me love my grandma more.
this film made me cry so much and trust me .....it takes a lot to make me cry!
well done :)
haha. right after i watched this and composed myself, i went to my mom and cried again in front of her. and then i called my grandma just to say hi, how was she, and i loved her. :)
My heart shattered when I saw this video. My grandma's only 60 but now I'm so terrified of what might happen if this happened to her. It's so sad. My friends and I will be sharing this on Facebook for sure so that more and more people will appreciate their Grandparents more.
A very touching and sensitively dramatised portrait of a person, displaying some of the symptoms of dementia. The award is well deserved!
one of the best singapore short films i've seen, because it is sincere, with just the right emotional touch. the techniques don't distract or take away from the story, which supports the film well.
No doubt that this is a prize-winning video. I didn't realize my tears are falling from my eyes... I almost cry. This is a moral lesson to everyone, love you're grandmother/lola coz every second counts...
My family lost a grandmother recently.
My dad and I watched this, and we both cried together. :\
I miss my granny, we never gave a proper goodbye.
Hopefully she's happy, wherever she is.
I just showed my mom this, she cried hella! I'm so grateful to have my mom/grandma. And I'm also grateful that I actually know how to make my own food. XD
When I watch a sad video, I can never get emotionally attached to the characters if they are not Asian. Being Asian myself, I am just tearing up so much right now. Watching her is like a lost child who can't find their mother.
this really made me cry....cant stop crying.... my grandmother is also the same like her but she's still alive,she's 76 years old. i love her so much.....
It's really painful to see how dementia can make mothers forget their kids 😭😭😭😭the moment her son and wife came running to her and she asks them to take her home was really a heart brokening
im.....im crying i admit it!
the grandma walked the whole day.. if i were the grandchild, i will feed grandma the chicken rice instead.. poor grandma..
+joshina martin I dont think its just about the chicken and rice, its also about how much trouble the grandma has went through to get the grandkid to eat the chicken and rice.
man, after watching this video I realize how much our grandparents mean to us.
ive watched this video too many times and it has never failed to keep me crying
This reminds me of my grandma...
Agh fuck I tried so hard not to cry by the end.. Fail
You g
i never have cried this much over a video before. This is just amazing and just breath taking for someone being scared and lost to find a way back home..
That film was so sad, and now I'm crying. No wonder it won a prize.
The grangmdchild was so inconsiderate! How can u just sit there knowing ur grandmother has been out 4 hours & still hasnt returned!
hey, PLEASE READ. DONT IGNORE THIS COZ THIS IS LONG. iam 19 years old and i am showing all the symptoms of early dementia. i find it hard to remember what happens the earlier day, i have low short term memory, i cannot find correct words, confusion in directions, i like to be sad(dont know why) poor judgement and changes in mood. please help. are these symptoms for any other disease too or am i suffering from this disease. i am worried. i thought it was vit b12 deficiency and i took tablets but no remarkable change. please help.
Backyard Magic sadly, there is currently no cure for dementia. but i hope you are okay anyways
Backyard Magic get checked for Celiac & thyroid disease. Do not take "no" for an answer.
Oh gosh bro see the doctors your problem seems very severe
omg, i cried so much
It took me a while to realize how much my grandma loved me. She passed away when I was around 5. Before, I always took her for granted, even though she fed me and took care of me when my parents weren't around, and loved me more than anyone else I knew. I never realized how much she loved me until I got older. I love you very much, Ah Ma
Marijuana may help.
Rose NoHo I have read stories about edibles helping with symptoms of Alzheimer’s and personally it did help alleviate some of the anger and confusion and helped focus her thoughts ; she was actually able to answer some questions whereas usually my grandma couldn’t focus anymore.
This is so sad. Gives nursing patients with dementia a totally new dimension.
I m in tears watching this. Thanks for the short video and what it meant to take care of a dementia kin. It feels sad when one is surrounding one's love ones, yet couldn't recognise them at all, except for the person one loves the most. Just like this grandma's love for her granddaughter is very touching.
this always makes me cry i always remember my grandma.. i love you grandma!!!!!
i can't help but cry. the love of a grandma is so great.
Made me cry. Great job!
ive watched this vid 5 times already for this day but still it made my heart melt and my tears fall. i suddenly felt the urge of seeing my nanny. i havent seen her for a year now coz she's far from me. i miss her so much. thanks for the persons whose responsible for making this vid. not only they inspire people but they also giving emotional, moral and educational lessons.
This is amazing. Truly heartfelt and touching. I cried so much.
Let this be a lesson to those who take everything- especially their health and family, for granted.
i'm really touched. this was uploaded by my friend on facebook the other day, and i cried when i watched it. the 14 people who disliked this, how could they? this is such a moving short film! they should show this at medical schools or any school, really. i love this vid!
Well done! Very moving and more important an accurate portrayal of a loved one's dealing with dementia. Puts this terrible disease into a perspective others can understand.
I am always touched by this short film. The grandmother's love and care for the grandchild despite her attitude and forgetting where she lived and where she went was what touched me the most.
this never fails to make me cry...
oh i couldn't help but cry at the end. so touching and real.
It just went right through me, it made me cry. im just so glad nothing bad happens to grandma. this film remind me of my grandma when she is still alive. thanks for this short film ive once again remember all the love gave to me by my grandparents. ill never ever forget those good moments like i did before. Thanks...
It tears me inside to see an old lady cry.
This video is truly touching. I never had grandparents because they died before I was born. But, when I watch this, I knew how they would be. Loving, compassion, very caring for their grand child. I cried when the grandmother reunited with her grand daughter, in all things she didn't forget. It was her love for her grand daughter.
cried like mad.. thank you for giving us reflection..and the story of love
Wow. This is too touching. Amazing work. God now I want to give my Grandma a big hug.
this video was phenomenal and so heart breaking. It truly deserved the award
Made me cry :,( appreciate the video, reminds me not to life for granted especially moments shared with my own grandma x
I'm definitely sure this can all relate to us, and I absolutely love this video. The lack of appreciation is so blunt now a days. I was very worried that a car was a bout to hit her, and I totally forgot this was even acting. What really made it worth it in the end was that the one that played the role of the granddaughter ate the food that was brought. That was just beautiful, showing acceptance. It's times like this, I feel very nostalgic. I'm so glad I cam across this video.
I come back every year to watch this video. My grandma who passed away about 10 years ago looks so similar to the actress and I watch this video to remember her. She did not have dementia but she also took care of us grandkids selflessly and seeing the resemblance makes me remember her the most.
makes me cry a lot. love you'r grandparents.
To all those we still have their parents and grandparents around..Cherish them while u still can
Wow, this is so touching 😢and it's a big lesson to all the youth to take good care of the older one.
It’s a great video
i always find grandparents annoying, or boring to be around. this video has changed EVERYTHING.
This video made me cry so much. I could relate to this video so much because I live with my grandmother and she's the main person in my life taking care of me whilst my parents work morning til late at night. It made me realize on how much I take my grandma for granted, I get annoyed when she cooks me food and tells me to eat, when she's always in my room cleaning, but what I don't realize is that she cares for me. This video is amazing and incredibly sad. I will always cherish my grandmother.
This video is so touching.....until now i'm still crying. I didn't think that the grandmother would care so much for her grandchild. I'm still crying. This really was a touching video. My keyboard is wet from all my tears
The message in this film is so strong. It makes me feel terrible about being a spoiled brat when i was little to my grandma and getting frustrated with her but wasnt aware of her condition. But it makes me appreciate her even more. Grandparents are awesome. and always are there for you more than anyone else!
Beautiful and heartbreaking.
aww that is so sad. im crying right now. thats beautiful. i will always love my grandma. this is just so sad.
Just seeing this now for the first time in 2022 in Miami, FL. Increadibly touching and powerful..
super great clip....tears flowed from my eyes too......
This was really good. My grandmother died two years ago, after suffering from dementia for over 17 years. In the end she couldn't walk or speak, and she was always afraid. but sometimes, when she could comunicate, she would hand me some of her food, so i could eat it, and it really mattered to her. it was really hard, seeing her so confused and scared all the time. This video explained perfectly the early stages of dementia, and i have to admit that it made me cry.
My grandmother has the same to and I love her so much... tnx for this movie i appriciate it.
I've never cried so much on a youtube video.
This is amazing.
My grandpa died of Alzheimer's.
He was acting confused all the time in the later stages (around 1-3 years before His death, God bless His soul).
Yet, He always wanted to keep me safe.
I actually teared up at this.
Appreciate those who take care of you!! It's a good reminder to everyone to not take for granted the blessings we have every day. Missing my selfless grandmother more and more every second. Thus video is close to my heart and I watch it almost every year around CNY. The actress looks just like my 奶奶 and is the closest thing to reminding me of her. ❤
.,i miss my lola so much... i know how much she loves me.... even in the last day of her life.... i know how she suffer from her illness... and now i realize why she got that decease.... i really miss her.... love you so much lola....
It just went right through me, it made me cry. i'm just so glad nothing bad happens to grandma. this film remind me of my grandma when she is still alive. ill never ever forget those good moments like i did before. Thanks from CNA Student Newtoon
Very touching! Made me cry..
I have watched this video for a couple of years ago. But until this day, i searched everywhere just to find this video. Good thing I made my self here again to remind my self how lucky people to have a grandmother/parent like this. Worth an/a hour/day/week to search this Vid.
My grandmother is diagnosed with dementia as well. One year ago I didn't understand much about dementia. Now I understand it tears apart whole families. It's really a cruel disease which I don't wish to anyone, not even my worst enemy. To all people here, everywhere in the world, who knows someone with dementia in his/her family I wish lots of strength and lots of love. You'll need it.
I cry every time I watch this.
Last 2014 I watched this short film made me cry.
Now in 2021 this short film make me cry again. 😢😭
This video reminds me of my granny. She forgot all of us, including me. But somehow, she never forgot her love for us. Although she forgot even her own name, she still held my hand and told me that she loved me. I remember those times where she brought me food when i was hungry,when she prayed for me when she was in a desperate state herself. I don't think i will ever forget her. If she could hear me,i'd really like to tell her that she is the best granny, and i will never trade her for another.
i swear i'm gonna love my parents and my grandparents while they're still living in this world with all my heart!!
So sad, but anyone who has looked after a loved one with dementia will know how hard it is physically and mentally. My heart goes out to anyone/everyone affected by Alzheimer/Dementia. A huge shout out to any caregiver doing this alone! I feel your journey. I feel your pain because I've been there. My mom was also diagnosed in her 60s. Feeling absolutely shattered, heartbroken and drained , working with different physicians across the country with little or no improvement. I was exhausted and overwhelmed to look any further. Crying a lot through frustration, anger and despair, But today with the help of Homeocure Worldwide Natural Medicine, my mother is completely healthy and well again.

This video is so touching 😢 I cry at the end. grandma will always go this far to make their grandchildren happy 🎉
I cried so much. It's so heart breaking to see this can happen.
never fails to make me cry
Wow that made me cry, and I work with dementia patients, what a sweet hearted lady…
This is so sad..even made me cry.
Brilliant little short film - No one understands but can feel something is not quite right but just don't know what to do. A clear demonstration on how important it is for dementia awareness. Thanks for the upload
such a gr8 video made me realize that i dont appreciate my grandma enough and i shud at least thank her for all shes done for me
This is so sad, it gets to me everytime. It makes me think about what if that happened to my grandparents..
This made me cry my eyes out...
