  • My wife, Theresa, was diagnosed with Early Onset Alzheimer's Disease back in 2018. Theresa was 49 years old at the time of her diagnosis. Theresa passed away on March 3rd, 2024 @ 10:15PM. In this video, I discuss her final days of life. She was the love of my life and I will cherish her forever. It was my greatest honor to care for her. Rest in peace my love, in your new heavenly home.
    Theresa's best friend Cher has also made a video discussing her love for Theresa, the grief of her passing and how this disease has impacted her.

    Hospice here for over 34 years. You just described the dying process. Cheyne stoke breathing, refusing food and water, hallucinating, etc. All these usually bother onlookers but is part of the dying process. So glad that you were there right up to her last breath on this earth and her first heavenly breath. That is a gift she gave to you. Grieving usually starts long before a person passes. Be kind to yourself, dear Trey, as you navigate through this new wilderness you've found yourself in. Ask and accept help if you need to at this time and know that there are thousands of people that are covering you in love, light, peace and prayers.❤

    After 34 years of love, I lost Vernon on February 27th, 2013. I held his hand and kissed him. I was glad that he was no longer in pain. I could not cry, he had suffered so much. He had wanted me to find another love, but I knew no one could take his place. In 2014 I met and married Mike. I was no longer alone. In 2020 I lost Mike. I still haven't been able to cry. I feel blessed to have had two good men to share my life with. The loneliness is so sad now. Love to you Trey and admiration for your strength and your love thru Theresa's journey.

      @9330krivers I am sure that you are a wonderful caregiver. My husband’s role has already been a reality as I was diagnosed of frontotemporal dementia last year 2/23/23. I was shocked to my core. I knew I had been acting erratically at times with my husband. He picked up on it and insisted I was checked out immediately. You would’ve thought I would have been the one to ask for MRI as I am the physician and he’s in television. But, no, I guess he realized that I was different in enough ways to warrant MRI. Confirmed by PET scan. My life has changed drastically since my diagnosis. It’s been my caregiver, who retired just to take on this task, that’s really pulling his weight. We’ve been together 34 years. I feel guilty knowing this is going to make him sad. When I read that someone is a caregiver, I stop to give them a hug. 🤗 I pray that your husband is doing well and enjoying life as much as possible.
      Edit: There is a therapist online, Dr Natalie Edmunds who is very helpful and knowledgeable with all types of dementia. Her information is free. Plus, Teepa Snow. Always, Sheila, Atlanta

I would also like to add a suggestion that those in a similar situation as you are, remember to arrange for a Living Will spelling out what kind of terminal care you DO and DON'T want as well as a Power of Attorning for medical matters and another POA for financial matters. Those documents helped my sister and I handle the final days of our father's life and and assure that he died with dignity. You are in my prayers.

    I was with my Mom when she passed from Alzheimer’s Trey. She lived in NC and I live in NY, so when I would visit she didn’t know who I was. But before she passed she she opened her eyes and smiled at me. So I know that at that moment before she died she knew who I was. That gave me great comfort to this day. I continue to care for my husband with LB as long as I’m able to. I will add Theresa to my donation in memory of her and my Mom. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers that the good Lord brings you, the family, and friends of Theresa comfort.🙏❤️

    I am so sorry. I live in Pinellas and had been looking for information to honor Theresa. If her Celebration of Life is public, and you would want guests, please let us know. I lost my mom recently to this horrible disease and couldn't see her in the last few years. I would love to celebrate such a sweet lady as Theresa, but only if it's open and public. When you lose someone, you never get over it, their passing becomes a part of you. I want to thank you for allowing us in on Theresa's journey, my mother punched the staff when we left the last time and I couldn't put the staff through that again, so I never saw her again. Please hold on to Theresa's things for about 6 months. Your mind will be less stressed and cluttered and you will make better decisions, decisions you wont regret later. I had worked in Hospice care and was educated on the care, but that means nothing when it's your own family, I'm so grateful to you both for letting us in. I hope you stay in touch with all of us and know we care about you. Also, patients have a lot of power over the entire process and Cher knew, it's amazing how much love Theresa had. I hope you find love and support in these comments that are written, you have a lot of wonderful people following you. Please take good care of yourself.

    My heart goes out to you. Your love for Theresa shows and will stay with you forever. She will always be a part of you. I know this because I have been through so much the same thing. My husband Ernie, the father of my 4 children passed after a battle with Early Onset Alzheimer's disease when he was 54. I was 48 at the time. I was blessed to be able to take care of him here at home for all but the last two days. Things were a bit different with him as he became more complacent. The last 2 years he became totally dependent on others for everything. He was nonverbal those 2 years. Our children were a lot of help during this time. My Ernie's Brother Gene passed the same year with the same condition. Their father passed at a young age with yet the same condition. It is very much a familial issue. After he passed in 1992. I then needed to go to work outside the home. I took a job at a local Memory Care Retirement Community in the Activity Department and later became the director of that department, I have now retired from this work but I still make things like fidget mats and such to donate to different care centers. Even though I have now married again and am very happy in this marriage, Ernie is still my first love and the father of my children. He would have turned 81 on the 4th of March. I miss him now as much as If he just left. My current husband is very supportive of my memories and keeping them alive. I have been blessed again. We live in Spring Hill, just a bit north of you. I often go to the beach area here to watch the shrimp boats go out for the night in the Gulf. Ernie was a lover of the sea and worked a lot on the shrimp boats. Watching them go out now all these years later, brightens those memories. Hugs and blessings to you, Yes, you will cherish her forever. Love never goes away.

    Trey...I am so sorry for losing your wife so early on in your marriage. You are a loving and kind man who has suffered a great loss. I am heartbroken and understand some of what you have endured...while caring for your beloved Wife. We buried our mother in May 2023. She was in her mid-80's with Vascular Dementia. She had a pretty long life so it is not the same as your story. She was diagnosed 3 yrs ago. I cannot even imagine losing my husband to a disease like this so early in our lives. We are in our early 60's.
    My father is 87 and has Moderate Alzheimers...diagnosed 4 yrs ago. He requires 24 hr supervision and lives with my brother near us. He hallucinates about bad men kidnapping his wife...my mother. He forgot that he has grandchildren. Locks are on all the doors to keep him safe from wandering. When he still lived at his home...he saw Mom everywhere. He did get agitated and had neighbors call the police a couple of times while living at home. Such a Terrible Disease. My brother and I were his caregivers and our mother's as well.
    One of the worst part of this disease is watching a person you love...slowly fall away from you...into a "Rabbit Hole" of Confusion. It is absolutely heart-wrenching to watch it happen...and there is no cure for our pain...watching it all. I will pray for you both. Please lean on those who care about you and be well and at peace. There is nothing more you could have done for Her. She loves you still and will wait for you to join her when the time is right. She is with her loved ones now...and feels no pain or confusion anymore.
    My mom is happily catching up with her friends and loved ones that preceded Her. You wife is doing the same. Of that I am Sure. Blessings to you and your family.

    So very sorry for your loss Trey. I went through this with my husband. He was diagnosed at the age of 56 and passed away at the age of 64. I was his caregiver. I think as a caregiver you lose yourself and our completely consumed with taking care of them, and once they are gone, you feel so lost because your life has just been surrounded by their care. I think I still struggle these days to still find my purpose. It’s been almost 5 years since I lost my husband and it still hurts. You are in my prayers. I was lucky enough that my husband was never combative. That must’ve made it even harder. Again, so very very sorry. Such a horrible disease.

Your channel is refreshing as it gives us a real perspective of what occurs day to day. There is no normal with this disease, but there is a shared understanding.

    Trey, it’s Sheila & Darren from Atlanta. Both of our hearts are broken. You will never know how your videos have affected us. Some of them are hard to watch knowing that my journey with frontotemporal dementia is progressing and we don’t know what to expect. Since your videos have given ideas and suggestions of what to do in case of agitation or confusion, my husband has a clearer understanding that he is going to have to be creative in helping me with my anger and combativeness. My neurologist has now referred palliative care to my home. We are going to continue to follow you because we know, as you said, your grief journey has just begun. My husband will reach out to you in the coming weeks by email. Your supportive nature is very strong and encouraging and evident on these videos. I wish I could say something profound, but all I know for sure is that Theresa loved and adored you. I am unable due to my new comorbidities to walk miles, but I can donate as I do already. Please expect something from us in your P.O. Box. We are sending love from the both of us. 💜Sheila & Darren ❤Rest In Peace Sweet Theresa

She will be so missed! This disease has no boundaries & is relentless. So sorry that it was part of you & Theresa's story. In the end it was exacly on how she wanted it to be. Just the two of you, together until her final breath. Very honorable for Cher to recognize this as Theresa's wish. Theresa took the opportunity to take "the wheel" & do it her way! ❤ You and Cher have been in my thoughts and prayers. My mom is in end stage Dementia & I can only pray that her passing will be peaceful as well.

My brother died 2 years ago from terminal lung cancer that had spread to his brain, liver, and pancreas, and he, too, had "terminal agitation" - it was simply horrific. He had wanted to badly to pass at home, but he was so out of control that they ended up hospitalizing him and even there, Thorazine didn't even touch the agitation. The night before passing, they had to basically put him into a medically induced coma to calm his agitation/restlessness. God bless you for having to witness, but I know you wouldn't have been any place else because you loved and adored her.
