Dementia at 49, that is truly sad.
She died in 2018 unfortunately
@@Michael-gi5th did she? 🙁
@@Ihatewater9000 yeah I remember looking it up at the time and she passed away sadly, didn't suffer with dementia too long, on 24th January 2018
@@Michael-gi5th happy day for her and I mean that in the nicest way. Dementia is no joke
Selinda passed away on the 24th of January this year, aged 56. R.I.P.
UBERAHA how do you know? And how did she pass?
Googled her name; Selinda Hope Border
UBERAHA thank you.
I just watched this documentary, and this story really stuck with me. I did a little googling and found out this as well. I mean.. I think it's the sort of thing that really caught your attention - especially because you were able to see that the disease was progressing so fast and so merciless. And it really made you think: "At this rate, how long a person is able to live?"
Rest in peace
it's horrible missing someone when they're still there.
This. Yes it is.
That is spot on
True ey.
It’s nice the way her husband talks to his wife
Bless him
@@lena1298 Looking after someone with dementia is incredibly challenging. Sometimes, we are not equipped to help those we love, without bringing ourselves great emotional harm (and to our loved ones, if we cannot care for them properly).
Thank everything that I haven't been in the position to look after someone with dementia, but I've been in a similar situation with a family member with a mental illness. Sometimes, putting them in an environment where they can get professional help is all you can provide.
Again, I cannot overstate how difficult it is to care for someone with dementia. To anyone reading this, your love for those afflicted is never lesser, and you are never lesser, if you decide you cannot help them yourself. Take care.
@@lena1298 you cannot judge someone until you have walked in their shoes. As other people have said you do also have to take care of yourself. Unfortunately family caregivers often end up dying before the person they are caring for from a combination of stress, lack of time to care for yourself and keep on top of your doctor's appointments and other health situations etc. Caring for someone in the late stages of dementia is no joke, they can be moody, agitated, lie, accuse you of things you never did and be physically violent. They're no longer the person that you knew and loved, that person is long gone. You still love them, of course, and do the best you can by them, but it's a heartbreaking tragedy. Also, when he was mentioning he was mainly speaking of it in the context of a legal formality in order to get her the care that she needed without financially ruining him and their daughter in the process. Please don't judge if you have not been there. Even if you have cared for someone with dementia every story and situation is different in a thousand ways.
After being a caretaker of an Alzheimer’s patient for 5 years no one will fully understand how difficult the choices you have to make and paying 6,000 a month for 24/7 assistance is sometimes not a choice for someone who doesn’t have the money. Some decisions might seem harsh but you have no other option.
@@lena1298 Have some empathy, you have no idea what this family is going through
This excerpt broke my heart. Those sad eyes of a person who is still in love with his wife but is facing big issues made me cry. My mom is having early symptoms and she is the most important person in my life.
How's your mom?
Hope things are going okay. Love
Louis does amazing work. these clips can be difficult to watch but I think that they're very important to have out there.
Thanks
They seem like really decent people. Sincerely wish them the best.
I really feel for them, must be hard in every sense of the word. Mentally, physically and financially.
Wow, I just discovered these clips! Very powerful, compassionate. My father died of Alzheimer’s in 2002, and it was unspeakably awful. WWII veteran, retired magazine editor, and he didn’t even recognize me in his final year. Thank you for producing this series.
You should seek out the entire episode. In my opinion it ranks as one of the best from Louis ever.
You guys are so brave for going on t.v. I take care of my mom she has dementia so she live with us. IT is not easy and I have 4 children I am raising. Everyone has to do what they feel comfortable with. Either way it's an awful epidemic many deal with- thanks for sharing . You have a beautiful family.
TheGlamorouUberRUclipsr you are a very strong intellectual women. I applaud you
She may never say it but thank you for not throwing her away to a nursing home.
loved this family...ty
This made me cry
i hope that child is doing alright
dont worry, she is
@@caleighborder2281 are you the daughter? My deepest condolences, I can’t imagine what you’ve been through
@@caleighborder2281 Blessed be.
This kills me inside because I have seen one lost to it and one, my rock of all people, slipping into it. So much knowledge and such a wonderful woman.
I don't know why I am watching these videos. Bawling like a baby. God help my mom, please.
They are incredibly sweet. I hope that things worked out for the best.
Unfortunately she passed away 2 years ago. Alzheimer's is a truly wretched disease that we really need to spend more resources in addressing.
Yes, to reconize that partners turn into something unknowed......the care is very very intensive of time....indypendent well so good as possible....
R.I.P
I miss my grandpa
Where is the full video??
I'm wondering if I could have a plan where like first diagnosis I'm on the plain to Europe for euthanasia
If it came to be that I started having symptoms of dementia, and no one to take for me, I`d probably check out. What would you do?
Me too
Unfortunately after they shut down mental hospitals a lot of the people in the situation you stated just ended up on the streets and we just see them as "crazy bums"
I think I would even if I did have someone to take care of me
The day I get diagnosed is the day I put a bullet in my head.
Glen = Ned Flanders
no way I could deal with this... id just check out.
This really scares me.
Do you remember this comment Ryan?
@@johnfused8281 Do you remember this comment John?
@@williamg3741 no
@@williamg3741 I don't lol
@@williamg3741 I even missed the pun :(
Where can you see the full episodes?
i player BBC online. but you probably know by now.
What about the child? That must be so😢 hard for her.
Had a friend get early onset. 4 little kids. Wife divorced him for care by the state. It's ok. It was the right thing to do.
Such a horrible situation
@Jericho Kilmanja because you have to pay for help in America. If you still have a family, they have to pay for you to be cared for. If you have no family (ie after a divorce) the state pays for your care instead.
@Jericho Kilmanja becasue USA
sparta
Id stick with her in my opinion its was my choice of love and so when the card is dealt you stick to it through better and worse.just my view
He answers the question in the video if she lives another 30 years in care that's a constant cost he could make her a ward of the state then still visit
I think when it comes to dementia and alzheimer’s, depending on the severity, you are dealing with a whole new beast. sticking around with the person can cause more stress to both parties than good.
Already made a deal with my mum that if she gets dementia we’re doing a one way trip to Switzerland for her and I’m going skiing after she has her special drink.
Can you explain the special drink to me?
@@joebloggs1691 fast-acting and completely painless barbiturate which is dissolved in ordinary drinking water.
@@andrewbirch6073 euthanasia??
@@andrewbirch6073 Honestly there is no right or wrong to situations like that. You can only know in your heart and to respect that person's wishes.
I find the Dignified Death requirements are too high and too many hurdles. Not all countries have it. But, a doctor will not approve it when they see a patient has only 2 weeks to live. That is a long long long time to suffer, i find.
Good God that's brutal, but that's America for ya
🇺🇲
Dementia isn't just an american disease yknow
At first glance I thought he was .....
Steve Buscemi?
Yeah he has the buscemi eyes
Why is this not treated . I hate 2018. Elon plz fix .
Update: Elon did not fix
First!!
It's just want to dump his wife
A lot of people get divorced to afford long term care. A lot
There is something about that Glen that rubs me the wrong way..
He seems tactless.. patronising..
Condescending.
Exactly
Gawd her husband is a disappointment
Salli Francis her husband is the strongest person i know. he stayed with her until the end and always helped her however he could. there are many people who would just leave in his situation. he is an amazing person and you have no right to say otherwise since you were not in that situation.
What kind of wretched person do you have to be to think this?? I have tremendous pity for you if this is what came to mind when viewing this....
There are words when you get married that you state to your loved one "in sickness and in health" perhaps you shouldn't get married. He was saying I wouldnt be able to afford to keep her healthy so let the government do it.
why is he a disappointment? Just because of the cost thing. seems very sensible. it costs a fortune in a care home. and it cannot be done at home. so no, the state is a disappointment. that they put people in this position, they have to bankrupt themselves to care for someone they love. shame on them and you for you thoughtless troll-like comment. 🙄😖
You could’ve easily kept you’re stupid rude comment to yourself, but here we are. Nice job showing everyone here how much of a POS you are.
