Watch This Son's Harrowing Account of Caring for a Mom With Sudden Dementia | NBC News
When they both broke down, Molly saw her baby boy crying and the mother instinct kicked in. You xan hear the tone and clarity shift in that moment. A mother's love is an unchanging, unwavering love. No illness can break it.
Broke my Heart
@@samonespencer7878 💔😥
In this life where no man is perfect-- he is the perfect son. How incredibly moving it all is.
God bless. My dad died at 62 from Alzheimer’s.
He is not. How he is perfect? .......
Amen he is God's angel
@@jacksonislegend What the-- what on earth are you trying to say?? LOL There is no one on this planet that could understand your comment.
I watched the programmes about your dear mum .you were a wonderfull son to her thankyou for being kind and loving❤️
This poor woman is trying so hard to hang onto her intelligence
I feel so sorry for her and her son.
She passed in 2018
Rest in peace dear molly, xxx
@@ihatefrankiero how did she pass? sorry, im trying to learn more about alzheimers, im not sure if it is correct, but alzheimers inself is not fatal but does lead to conditions that are, right? is there someway that i could learn of what happened?
"Everything is fixed Joey!" Such a beautiful statement in that moment.
Made me crying knowing even tho she has alot going on in her mind all she can think about when she sees her son crying is about making him fee better
@@skyz60fps - My mother was the same way. She sensed when I was at my wits end and was only concerned about MY well being. The Mom I knew was still in there - deep in there, but she was there. When I finally put Mom in a personal care home nearby (after living with my family for over 6 years), she said, "I'd rather be with you, but I want you to be OK." That was my mother. It was SO SO hard.
I heard his mother in that statement. I wept.
You are walking the path with her. There is nothing more honorable.
Your Mom really raised you well for you to be so loving and kind. God bless you.
That’s all I needed to hear😢
The way she instinctively goes straight back into mum mode when Joey starts to get upset, her heart still belongs to her even if her brain is letting her down. Wishing this family all the love.
6:58 “I don’t know, I don’t know what to do to help you” speechless.
CC CC
That’s the exact point where I lost it
I lost it to... crying like a river here when I heard those word. Life is sometime hard and unfair. Be greatfull for what you have and don't take the time with loved ones for granted, it will not last forever.
I started to cry at that point
😰💙
I’ve been struggling with the same thing with my mom but not with dementia but with Lukemea and it’s really hard to just sit and watch
This just broke me. My mother suffered a stroke, so my brother and I and my wife "moved back home" to take care of mom. My wife quit her job to be with my mom full time because my brother and I have full time jobs. My brother and I would do the bills, my wife and I shared the cooking/cleaning and grocery shopping. Feb 27, 2020 my mother passed. 😞💔 RIP Mom.
RIP man I know it's hard man you got this my guy people are here for you
That's beautiful how you guys cared for her. Love seeing the loving sons
Sorry to hear that ♥️ prayers with you
RIP to your mum.
Well done to you and your brother and to your good hearted wife... bless her for being a good *daughter * to her.
Always think of it as having the honour and privilege of being able to be there for her. So sorry for your lose.
All I can say is love your parents while you can because someday it will be too late.
fairmaidenvoyage87 my husband died in Aug from Alzheimer’s. He thought our son was his father and I was his mother who he was always angry with both of us until the last few months which were mixed blessings. He wasn’t angry but he was dying. God blessJoey.
Yes one day u will loose them and they will not come back😢😞😞😞
😭😭😭😭😭
I wish I could say that to my dear girlfriend of 61 years- son Michael. Ever since They had an argument over seven years ago and God knows what the argument was even about. But because of that argument he hasn’t spoken to her for seven years. He since had married and had twins, but my dear girlfriend never got to see them.
She died suddenly very recently, And I honestly think it was because her heart was broken in pieces.
Shame on him just shame on him.
"I don't know. I don't know how to help you"
"Everything's fixed Joe" 😞
Goodnight Miss Molly.
@Epic Quintessence I know, it broke my heart for him
Terminal lucidity..... at least the patient is happy in their last moments......
Your mother remembers for you, when you were too young to be aware. You remember for your mother, when she is too old to be aware. God bless you both. Our road opens our eyes.
Yes it does. And all the questions are answered with only one answer, love.
I love that he kept his mother's nails done and hair cut because he knew those little things do help her. ❤❤
I am a nurse who has worked with dementia for 20 years it is a very cruel disease and one that if your not around it all the time very hard to understand. Even though its painful as a child to see your mum losing her memories of her children you will always remember that she is your mum. Great work to bring more attention to the struggles of dementia.
I am a Nurse as well, but NOTHING could’ve prepared me for dealing with Dementia with my husband!
I'm a 24 hour, live in professional carer of people with dementia and I completely agree with your comment
I’m a nurse and it hits totally different when it’s your own loved ones. Great video to bring awareness
God bless you, I'm going to go visit my momma. Shes my rock, my super hero.. I remember taking my grandmother back to the nursing home after a visit and she started crying begging me to please don't leave her, she would be good. SHE WOULD BE GOOD!!! That was the last day my sweet tiny nan slept in that place. I moved her in with us, quit my job and became her full time care giver until she passed. It was a very stressful, beautiful, special job and I wouldn't trade it for all the money in the world. Hugs to you my friend.
She was like child! I couldn't blame her. I wouldn't want to be in a home either. God love you for taking care of her for the rest of her days. You are a saint. My mother was put in a home because we couldn't afford round the clock care. She had her mind but her body was worn out. Copd, breast cancer and other issues. My millionaire relative could have gotten someone to take care of her in the home. If I had the money and way I would have kept her, my brother wanted to, he was so angry she had to go to a home. She passed in 2014. I had another older brother who visited her every night in that home and he wasn't leaving until she was asleep. Now that's what I call a son! There every night til the night she died!
God bless you. ❤️✝️🙏😔
The medical profession that is controlled by the pharmaceuticals is creating this crisis with it's toxic potions called drugs and vaccines. It is the worst form of consumer fraud. It is voodoo to tell patients they will die without these toxic drugs and then lie to them that there are no cures. Food is our medicine. If these old people were put on www.gerson.org they would get better and live the rest of their lives like normal people instead of the helplessness put on them by medical consumer fraud.
Take control of your own health before you become a victim of this medical Mafia created by pharmaceutical who are murdering millions.

Just think how happy she was .it's so sad know wt u said can't be done and u did it u will get the reward.
@@hippyable Yes he is a great son.
I’m so afraid my dad is going to die this way like his dad. He says he’s been confused lately and he’s forgetting a lot of little things. He’s only 50 and his memory is not as good as it should be. He go to the doctors cause he’s afraid. I don’t wanna lose him like this. Please god
Hope ur dad's better...I'm glad he's going to see a doc....sometimes memory issues are simply vitimin deficiency, depression, medication interactions or other reversible health problems.
Be his Rock and never be afraid to cry together. These are the moments life is made of.
I’ll keep you and your dad in my thoughts, Albert.
I hope that your dad is okay right now 😕
Your devotion to your mother is heartwarming. I suppose you know not every son or daughter would be so present for her.❤️❤️❤️
True ey.
Oh man, when he walked back in that room to his mama...I started crying...that is what my son would do to. My grandmother had dementia. My heart really goes out to you Joey. You were such a wonderful son. God bless you. RIP beautiful Molly.
"Dementia, grieving for a loved one while they are here... only to grieve again once they are gone." Molly touched my heart, and there are so many "Molly's" out there. When you come in contact with an elderly person, a smile can change their whole day around. And make sure to tell everyone that you love them, because tomorrow can change....and we might not be able to.
ROC 585 Amen. You lose them “twice” It’s heartbreaking.
@@lisawarren7553 it IS 😢
You nailed it. Just lost my father 3 weeks ago albeit his was 89. With the dimentia I really lost him about 2 years ago. It's a cruel cruel disease.
@@bradfigiel2203 I'm so sorry Brad. I know this is 8 months later... I know it still hurts. My condolences to you and your family ❤
im 23 and my mom has alzhimers its so hard watching someone you have non your whole life fade away
My heart fully goes out to this man, he’s a good son. This hits so close to home.
She must have been a really good mother because she raised it marvelous son. This just breaks my heart into a million pieces.
Me too ey.
joey's channel is hard enough as it is, but adding sad music is causing the flood gates to open. 😢😭
achanwahn 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Really does. I'm not someone who shows a lot of emotions and rarely cry. This and all of his videos just brings it all out for me. And I think I need it so it doesnt just bottle up inside me. Cant imagine life without my parents and they're both in their 60's now which scares me.
Who’s cutting onion?! 😭
Yes. It is horribly heart wrenching!
Plague Doc dimentia sucks it makes people just look lifeless and they don’t know who u are even tho they’ve known u your whole life there’s some things that helps them like with my grandma it’s like old music like elvis and stuff but still it’s so hard to watch
♥️ Miss Molly has captured a piece of my heart. Her story has been so moving. Thank you Joey, for sharing her with us.
Three Of Hearts I agree!! And seeing happy video of her with her grand children everything back when got her to steal an even bigger part of my heart!!
Watching him break down just kills me. What an amazing son, it's clear the apple doesn't fall far from the tree in this family 💕
True.
😢😢😢You are true person a Loving Son !!!!you have great full spirit😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ to love Your Mother with your heart always 24/7😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ God !will bless You😊❤
I was a long term care nurse for 33 years. I've seen many presentations of the different types of Dementia. It's tough and beautiful at the same time. God bless this wonderful son who is presenting this to the public. It's very helpful.
Man that is so hard to watch. I am soo sorry Mr. Daley. I can't imagine what this is like. I can't imagine looking my mom in the eyes and her not know who I am. It tearing me up just thinking about it.
justin alvarado it’s very hard to watch that is so sad my mom uncle and aunt passed away from Alzheimer’s they were very young I miss them so much
@@guadalupecasillas1800 if what you said is true then you need to start taking preventative steps now because it runs in your family. Healthy diet and exercise is a must
Evan pounders it’s real I’m a small town in jalisco Mexico and in that part of jalisco it’s called altos sur it’s where you can find more cases of early onset Alzheimer’s there doing a research my mom died at 59 my uncle died at 50 and my aunt 61
My heart goes out to your FAMILY my mother just got diagnosed with Advanced dementia pray for my FAMILY AMEN 🙏😞
Sharon Scott My heart aches for you, and all those battling through this. I have heard Essential Oils can help, please research into it. I pray Jesus will fill you with wisdom, strength and peace 🙏🏽
@@kerrygainfort7821 pseudo-science
Im so sorry.
This video needs to go viral so many of us have parents with dementia. It has become so prevalent,the loving parents who bring us into the world lose themselves and Joey is right what do we do? How do we stop the progression? I wish the network would re-air this documentary. Love and light to you Joey &Molly Daley!
Man she impacted so many lives.mine, I miss hearing her voice.
This man is a wonderful son and Human being. He will look back on these videos one day, and be so grateful that he spent that time with his mom, as hard as it was sometimes. I wish to God I had had that time with my mom and Dad. ❤
He’s a great son and I can tell that she’s a great mom. It’s really sad to have to see your parents this way.
they are wonderful mother and son.
🌹🌹🌹🌹
I cannot believe she was only 66. This disease is so horrible! So horrible for the person going through it. I also know first hand what it does to the family. You feel so helpless. It is awful to watch. You want to do everything you can to make your loved one happy. Joey, you and your family were so wonderful. God bless your our whole family. I hope your family has been healing. And I hope you take comfort in all the good memories.❤️
When the day comes where I can't remember my wife's name or who my children are, that's the day I've outlived my use as a human being.
And I hope my wife does the right thing and lets me die with my dignity intact.
Tropic-Al that all sounds well and good. i dont want to live like that either. but what do you want your family to do? murder you? go to prison for you? bevause your body will go on longer than your mind. your family will be in a worse position than you, begging for the disease to finally take you, and it won’t. it’s really easy to say “i hope my wife does the right thing”. the reality is there is nothing to be done. its a terrible prison for both you and your caretakers.
@@irishlass5794 I think he's going more the route of doctor assisted suicide. Sorry for the late reply.
@@miguelturner7824 but that’s not legal so it’s not a reality
@@ihatefrankiero It depends where they live, also, I've heard that some doctors will do it as long as its in strict confidentiality. Regardless if its in the law or not.
I've been looking into assisted suicide. I find my bipolar disorder to be unbearable at times and hate being hospitalized when Im manic. The nurses their were cruel and actually made fun of me and others with similar conditions.
Someone, please pass me some tissues now. Thank goodness that my Mama & Dad, at 76yo & 81yo respectively, still have their wits about them. My Dad even still drives. Slow, albeit, but safely. It's amazing, our minds, yet scary how it's all lost in the blink of an eye.
It’s lovely to see a son care so much for his mom ❤️
Hi Joe, I also cared for my mom for 3 years... she passed away 11 months ago from Lewy Body Dementia at the age of 68. I’m a nurse by trade, and she tried assisted living but declined terribly and I brought her back home. I became “HER MOMMA”, and it is absolutely so painful to see some of the exact words your mom said...
I’m in counciling 2xs a week just to learn how to deal with so much LOSS.
I’m grateful and will keep you and your family in my prayers.
Thank you for all your hard work🙌🏽🙏🏼
Take care....
Holly Warehouse stay strong😔💔sending love
Every time I watch this, my heart breaks.
💔
your mom is blessed to have a wonderful son like u...
I rewatch the series over and over again. Daily. No one in my family has dementia but this series draws you in. Love, unconditional love is all I see in each episode. And even though Joey didn't realize that he was recording his mother's last year in this realm of living, even though Joey felt helpless and hopeless at times, trying to figure out how to help his mother through her suffering, he gave her exactly what she needed. Unconditional love. This is my first time watching the NBC special. Boy, you guys really know how to open the floodgate of tears.
thank you for making this vid. I live in Scotland, it is 3years after you made this vid. we will never meet. my mother died of dementia years ago, i still regret that i never understood what she went through. your film has truly helped me, thank you. gillian
I am watching this in 2020 and Joey and his mom have done a wonderful thing in documenting your mom's plight. As harrowing as it is, it helps us all to learn and cope. Sending love to you Joey and family. Hope you have have found peace and are aware of what a wonderful son you are. Which of course is all down to your incredible mom .
This is killing me. I am bawling so hard. I have lost a mom from early onset at just 58 years of age and I have watched Molly through all of these videos and it is killing me. I can not even watch without dying inside missing my mom so much. I hear her talk of Linda so much and it is so sad.
Becki Geiger I lost my mom one month ago to this illness. My heart is with you.
*God bless you both... i am so sorry for your loss (es)... this is a devastating disease that ultimately kills the patient, and leaves the caregiver, family and community emotionally wrought and then scarred for life...*
When you feel as if you're about to fall apart...
you're really just breaking open 💔💖
We never know how strong we can be until we are forced to be.
Your mother is with family & friends who passed before her…. what a Welcome Home she had!😇
@@davisholman8149
Actually, shes at her condo in Boca Raton...
Hi Joey and family-I am a social worker for aging people and many people with dementia. My mother has vascular dementia. Thank you for everything you are doing. Your videos would be a great teaching tool for professionals in medical, behavioral social work, etc. I've been watching them at work but had to stop for all the crying I was doing. You are an amazing son, Joey. Your mom's suffering will not go to waste. Thank you thank you thank you thank you
I worry about my mom. She’s 96. Her sister was 98, and died. Before she died, she was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. I worry that my mom might have some form of dementia now. Thanks for sharing your journey with your mom.
This is difficult to watch. It breaks my heart and reminds me of my mom.
When Joey gets upset the mother comes out of her. But when my husband had it sometimes he hated me and the last 3 months he was mad that I didn't bring him home. He had forgotten how to walk.
My mother was mad at me sometimes. Its all part of the disease. They are just as frustrated from loosing their freedom to do what they want, they feel they have lost control of their lives ( my mother said that to me and I could respond with a good answer sadly) and they get confused. Its so hard to get through that part of your memories of what you had to deal with. I felt a lot of guilt not being able to take my mother home.
I thought I could deal with my Mother's Dementia, but, after 1 1/2 years since her diagnosis I really saw what a drain and pain it is on us both. For me is watching the once vibrant mother I've always known-withering away and turning into someone else with (anger, forgetfulness, false accusations, etc) I am a former US Army Soldier and have seen, done, a lot. But being a caregiver for my Mom is a wall too high to climb. But, thanks for your videos-they are exactly what I deal with with daily.
Every mom needs a Joey...God bless you, Sir. So tough to lose your mom this way. Heartbreaking.
This broke my down. So heartbreaking to watch but yet so beautiful to see such a loving son care for his mother. I’ve been following your viedos from #1 and I will continue. Love you guys bless you all
Joey, as a person watching you thru your videos, all I can offer you and Molly are my prayers. I honestly wish I could something more, but I know there is nothing. So, prayers it is; for Molly's peace and your strength. Though I've never met either of you, I love you both and my heart breaks for you. Thank you for sharing yourselves.
Molly Wilkinson "when God is all you have, you have all you need" They are first.
Molly Wilkinson hi
I have Huntington's disease with onset dementia at 45......you are amazing son..my kids and family disowned me..but my boyfriend does and you are helping him with me❤
This demonstrates how asking questions is a bad thing to do when addressing people with dementia. They do not know the answers and start to feel even more anxious, which can lead to sadness and aggression.
I don't know if I should say this I know it's hard for you Joey but I would give everything to be in your shoes even at its worst I lost my mom to brain cancer when I was 9 and when I saw her stroking your arm she knew right then who u are (a loving caring son) just to feel that again would mean the absolute world to me
I Will be praying every day that that day will be a great day for Molly and everyone who loves her( even if we aren't related ) thank you for sharing your world with us and I will be waiting each week for the updates have a blessed and happy life

For a second, I thought you were telling him or her to F off, then I realized it was their username.
It all comes down to perspective, while you had 9 years with your mom; some folks have never known their parent(s); and some folks have been brutally traumatized by their parent(s) or even murdered by them. I had a tough childhood due to my parents and siblings being Autistic however, there were good times which is what I focus on. I learned that, we can only focus on one point in time, and just as we can't have our heads in the clouds daydreaming about what we would like life to be like; we can't stay focused on the childhood we wish we had, or the life we could have had if things were different. Only by focusing on the here and now, looking towards the future and breaking things down into manageable pieces we can work towards on a, yearly, monthly, weekly, and daily basis, with a deadline, etc, can we actually work towards achieving things in the future. You may find you would like to work with people older than yourself, in whatever area that interests you, be it technology, the medical field, etc, if you feel that would help fill a need. It may be that, your loss at such a young age gives you greater compassion when working with seniors then some people out there. What you don't want to do is sit there with an empty void inside of you, and end up filling it with unhealthy things. Many folks who, overeat, do drugs, etc, are self medicating in this way. Engaging in, fitness, in self education, in a fulfilling career, an a happy and healthy relationship, raising kids, etc, can all be healthy ways to fill the void we all have. Yes, even folks with the best childhoods have this void inside, it's where our minds go when we are bored, when we get stressed, etc. Those who have had good childhoods and who have been spared traumatic experiences as children or adults, usually have been encouraged by parents to find healthy ways to occupy themselves when bored or stressed.I hope this helps, and I like so many others are sorry to hear you had to go through such a hardship at such a young age.
bishpls fukoff same here. My mom died of breast cancer when I was 11 yrs old. I would love to know what it would be like to have a mom.
Wow got to see a lot more of Joeys pain have been watching since first episode came out and we have always gotten to see a lot of Mollys ups and downs emotionally but this NBC doc we got to see more of Joey who has been the most amazing son I have ever encountered and I work in lodges and see a lot of sons and the world needs way more Joeys but I fear that he is becoming burnt out because as he said so elicantly it destroys the whole family as well. My thoughts and prayers are always with him wish the big tv stations would have more documentrys about this following families like his they are the true heros on tv not these phony people who get paid to be one. Joey is a true hero
Yes, it makes the episodes/story complete.
Went through the Same process with my mom. It broke my heart when she could no longer recognize me.
What I wouldn’t give to have a son like you when I’m old and frail....God bless you
Even though I have followed this family and I'm very familiar with this story.....This is so profoundly beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time...I suffer with them and even laugh and cry with them like Joey says. Seeing this from the outside opened up a while new world of understanding for me as far as what this movement is doing...
What an incredible son. You make me cry how you are with your mother and children. You are so brave and strong to watch your mom go downhill and forget everything and how to do anything. You will be fine. Have faith in Jesus he will guide you through your toughest
Chris Gradel Jesus is who got me through mum's Alzheimer's. He gave me the strength and peace needed to go through it with her.
Your doing the best thing for her by taking care of her and not abandoning her in a nursing home you have given her the most selfless gift one can give, she raised an awesome son 💝
She raised a good son and a good man. God bless your family.
Hi joey... my grandmother is currently dealing with this horrible illness....I finally was able to see her after a while, and she had no idea who I was... it really got me. I have so many beautiful memories, she taught me what unconditional love is and that someone will love me no matter what. I felt and feel like she died.... I feel so badly for her. I love her so much.
I literally cried through the whole video. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I took care of ppl with this condition for over 20 yrs. It will always have a special place in my heart. I am honored to have been a small part of their lives.
GOD BLESS YOU what a wonderful son u are I have a daughter who is a RN supervisor I haven't seen her in 6 yrs she threw me away when me and her daddy divorced.....Your a wonderful person ive taken care of my severely disabled son 46 yrs .....you do these things out of love
I found myself crying with you. I took care of my mom through cancer that eventually took over her brain. You are very brave to share your journey. What a good man you are to hang in there throughout this journey. It is a long arduous grief process as you slowly lose her. It is ok to break down. You are so strong in that you can break sometimes. Allow the grief when it flows through you.💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
This really highlights the demoralizing and degrading aspect of suffering with dementia. Heartbreaking.
Wow...I cried so hard. There's a special place in Heaven for you and your mom.
Joey you are a love.
Beyond fabulous that you have documented this cruel and vile disease. My Best Girlfriend was diagnosed 3 weeks ago. Sasskia is beyond shattered. She nursed her husband with cancer for 3 years.
Bless your cotton socks for this vision to assist us.
My Heart breaks for your Mumma and You. It is the long goodbye.

my heart breaks for you & youre mum joey. my dad took dementia at 56 died at 63 when i was 28. its the most heartbreaking thing to watch them slipping away in front of youre eyes. i nursed my father until he died my prayers and love go to you joey and your sweet mum . you are doing the right thing crying you need to let it out theres no shame in it its better letting it out than storing it up it will make you ill to store it . keep well joey my love to you youre family & sweet mum. xxx
My mom was diagnosed with dementia then she had a massive stroke in Jan. 2016 and is paralyzed in nursing home. Medicaid took our place. All I pray for is to have a good home so I can bring her home to be with us and make her comfortable for the remainder of her life.

In Jesus name God bless you and your mother.
Joey breaks my heart more then his mother :(
My dad passed 2 month ago because of ALS. Watching your video I was able to cry again all the pain I've been holding... thanks for sharing
His series is probably the most heartbreaking thing I’ve ever seen.
This made me cry. My Dad has dementia and I am 300 miles away. Thanks for sharing this. He is 85 years old.
Joey your helping other people think wow my life is so precious and all the memories can just GO like THAT. MEMORIES ARE PRECIOUS
I could tell she trusted Joey so much.
Your mummy was one fortunate lady to have had a son like you. You were so amazing to her. Credit to you and your family. I lived with my beautiful mummy with dementia until the Lord called her home to glory. You have no regrets
Absolutely crushing and extremely moving. I'm sending you every positive vibe I can.
Beautiful and sad at the same time .. thank you for all that you're doing Joey!!
Thank you for sharing❤. I’ve been caring for my mom for 5 1/2 years and have never been so physically, mentally and emotionally exhausted in my life. It’s heartbreaking to watch the changes as parts of the brain die. No one understands unless they’ve actually done it. Thank you for sharing the real side. My mom is deteriorating fast this year and I feel so helpless
Balled my eyes out I lost my brother from a car crash and to see this kills me seeing my brother dying and then seeing his mom in the bed slowly dying makes a real man cry
This honours the love between you, it will always be there, even when she didn’t seem to know who you were, your Mum still held your hand and rubbed your arm to comfort you. Strong bonds never to be broken. Blessings to you all.
beautiful video and it gave you a chance joey to let out what you have been holding in.. i hope it was healing for you! Hugs!
Hi Joey,
I don't know if you will see this message but I want to thank you for sharing these painful and beautiful moments. I lost my father in 2015 from dementia and I wish I had the frame of mind to record. I look a lot of still pictures but it's not the same memories as actually seeing them walk, talk, laugh, dance, and even the going through...I felt your pain "when you said I don't know how to help you". I cared for my father and the most painful for me was when my father would forget who I was. I died over and over. Today, I see Molly and it's like I see my father...I see my father doing. Thank you for sharing it has helped me and all these years later is still helping me cope. See we never forget. We will never forget our parents. I hope where ever you ara and what ever you are doing...i pray it be fruitful and you and your family lack nothing. God bless.
Thank you.
I lost my dad to dementia.
I cried throughout the video because I get it.
Prayers to your beautiful family.
My heart never broke so hard. I am so aware of dementia now and my heart aches for everyone that had or is now suffering from dementia... including loved ones affected.
Brings back memories of my father, that confused look feels so familiar. God bless you and your mom, Joey Daley
I showed this for a dementia training with caregivers. Made such an impact on them! Thank you!
Bless this man for his sharing his mother and his story.
You are a good son. I lucked after my mom dying of Altzcheimers. She died at 68 in 2007. Its very tough time but you are doing great !
You are the best Joey! Respect for you!
My mom died of cancer at 62 and the pain is real i am bawling and its been 22 years
I have lived that 5 times. Sad , it changes us, sometimes robs our soul forever...
I just love Molly and Joey! I'm an avid follower and on the Molly's movement page! I think that this video was beautifully done and nice to see Joeys struggles with this because his focus is always on Miss Molly!
So glad you captured your Mum's journey for us. What an incredbly selfless act by both of you to allow us in. Rest in Peace Miss Molly x
The saddest thing is, if she were alive and sane, she would be extremely sorry and grateful to Joey for everything.
This Son's tears and vulnerability really moved me.
