If my parents ever forget me i will spend what time i have left with them in taking care of them the way they did to us as a child! They spend all that time raising us and taking care of us! Its time for us to take care of them
That's a great mindset however it can be very stressful on a different level. A kid can understand what the parents are saying but elderly with less and less memory can't always. Even the simplest thing of going to the bathroom or putting on clothes can be the biggest challenge of the day
@@bobbielea3017as a med student just remember its not personal. The long term memory has died. But they are still in there. Just love him ❤ . Mommy was violent but she would go back and forth.
I happened to come into contact with many elders that were experiencing these issues. I worked in a grocery store, who every Tuesday would have a Dementia center bus about 15 men and women, and let them walk around and do some shopping, and we always helped them with their lists. I enjoyed doing this, as it helped in understanding how these people thought or processed these tasks. These lovely men and women were always so thankful for our help, and our interaction with them. Fast forward several years later, I have a loved one, who has had many brain tumors since she was 14, and is now 30, She is in a home with Dementia patients, where she cannot escape, and I again get to see many people with this awful disease. Don't forget your loved ones, just because they have it. Keep being in their lives. They are still the people you loved, and who loved you at one time. It is very sad to see these people die a lonely death, without interaction from those they knew for so long.
It's realy hard when you see their memory go but what the last person said is true. Keep showing love and care, it will still be hard but they deserve all the love we can give them.
i work with dementia patients, some of them can’t recall anyone, some remember only their spouses, some of them will confuse their children for their spouses, some of them believe their caretakers are loved ones, some believe their kids (well into their 40s and 50s) are at school and should be coming home anytime now. the one thing i se across the board is they remember how it feels to love you. they may not know exactly how you two are connected, but they know they feel love for you. and after a lifetime with someone affected by such a devastating disease, what a blessing…
Man I'm tearing up as I'm writing this. It's hard seeing the person you love and care for go through this. But i feel like god knows the reason as to why these things occur and something more profound and beautiful will happen for the individual themselves and of course their caretaken/partner/family
I’ve worked in a dementia/Alzheimer’s nursing home for almost a decade now. While they sometimes forget your name and who you are. I’ve seen some of our furthest gone patients light up when their kids come. That love stays with them all the way to the end. Bittersweet
😭😭 feeling this heavy. My dad has dementia and I’m his main carer so I’m the one person he’s attached to. It gets so frustrating at times because he follows me everywhere, even when I go to use the toilet he waits outside the door he just always wants to be close to me. I know I need to be grateful because I know that one day I’ll miss these moments💔💔
I work w/ a dude who follows me. It is cute bc i think he just wants to help. But boy when he gets in his moods, ... Nah uh. Ill bug anothet dude to come get him. He pees everywhere
I don't know how it is for others. But my mom has Alzheimers. She doesn't even remember her own name. She doesn't remember my dad or us children. But she knows she loves us and is always happy to see us. It hurts to see my mom that way, but the love is still there. I remember one day a couple of years ago when I reminded my mom I was her daughter and her eyes lit up and she smiled and was so happy to know that I was her daughter.
😢😢😢 i remember my late mother after her stroke, she started to have dementia too. At times she forgot about me, as i cried, she pretends to remember me to make feel better. Thats my mom, 😢😢😢.
Keep showing up. So many people stop coming to see family when it gets to the end stages here and its awful. There is days when they wake up and do nothing but search for their babies.
For anyone scared that anyone of their family members will forget about everything including you just know that they may not remember you here 🧠 but they will remember you here ♥.
My great grandmother has dementia. I just found out she fell and broke her wrist. The doctors gave her 6 months. I haven’t seen her since I was two, but I’ve sent her a few letters through the years. She has a picture of me (when I was 2) and my grandpa (her son). Apparently she talks to my photo and thinks that it’s alive. The tells my grandpa “I spoke to Bella today 😊” when really she spoke to my picture. She yelled at my great aunt, to tell my grandfather to change my clothes, as she only sees me in that photo, in which my clothes stay the same. Im taking a 13 hour drive to visit her next weekend with my parents. Im terrified. Im pretty sure she won’t be able to comprehend that im the child in the photo and that im no longer two years old.
Dementia is not frightening at all. You just treat the person as a friend and carry on living with them. Just make sure they are well taken care of, and let them do their own stuff.
My Dad has both Dementia and Alzheimer's... I think he's forgotten me as he is in the final stages and I have signed a DNR for him to honor his wishes 😢
Just found out by my family my father has starting stages of dementia. Please give me advice there open..been crying last two days off n on.. he does dialysis for kidneys and chemo for cancer too now this. I hope I don't lose him. Feel like I running out of time
Record them now. When they forget play that they say now. The part of the brain dies that has long term memory but they are still in there. Just enjoy your time with them. They are scared too.
Just a make a video of your togethermess with your parents, Whne they forget you, you can show that video to your parent, Then may he/she remembers you again
“How can I forget you? You are my son. Me and Mummy brought you up. You’ll still be our son forever and ever.”
❤ I wish I had parents like those.
Jesus loves u❤
Oh God .. the things that happen and things we experience in life … this is truly sad ❤ I am so sorry
don't let them go outside alone please 😔
Bruh 😂

The thing is, they may forget WHO you are but they still feel love for you and know they love you. They know you’re someone special to them.

My dad is suffering from this only..I am crying
This moment is so precious so heart warming but truly sad , God bless your sweet beautiful family ❤
I read a comment once that said, “the hardest thing to do, is to grieve the loss of someone, who is still alive”.
My mum eventually forgot her entire family- from the present- from twenty years ago, she remembered us in detail. Absolutely devastating.
I feel you bro. 🙏🏽😔
What a great son. Honey she would be so proud of you. She OBVIOUSLY did a great job raising you up.

Play them their favourite music from their past. Soothes, and also gets part of the brain working ❣

My mom had Alzheimer's she forgot who I was ,but I remembered for her ❤️
What beautiful humans they all are ❤️
That young man! That woman is so fortunate to have such a good relative.
Beautifully said 🤗
I must cherish this next decade with my father. Thankyou to all these comments ❤❤

They dont forget family members, but they often mistaken them as another, one time my gramps mistaken me as my uncle

"dementia can only go one way. It can only get worse"😢

Props to the brutal honest dude
my grandmother has that too i didnt see her i am gonna see her later i hope she dont forget me i am so sad if she will😢
I heard stress at work might cause dementia! Please don't hesitate to voice out if you are stressed.. Your health is your number one priority.
Where did you hear that? Research? Medical journal?
Thats false

How did your visit go? I'm sure it may have been difficult; there may have been regrets. But you did the right thing by going to see her!
God bless them.
i have just watched this full video this morning. the video was posted 9 month ago.
Absolutely Heart broken
Love your mom my is passed now you don't get a second chance!!!
Why am I crying
GOD Bless you all and your families
I pray for them
Dementia is scary and sad bro...

Are you dumb? You can’t share in family memories or remember your childhood or raising you!!!
My grandma has dementia this vid made me so sad
My Dad has both Dementia and Alzheimer's... I think he's forgotten me as he is in the final stages and I have signed a DNR for him to honor his wishes 😢
How we can cure this desease please tell me
Why i cried i don't know but people pains hit me hard
Heart braking
Thank you 🧡
Feels.
My mother has also dementia
Sadly they won’t get a choice in the end.
My mom forgot who I was for the first time a few weeks ago.
So sorry, sometimes it comes & goes. Just appreciate the good days, and love her even if she doesn't acknowledge you...
I hate mortality. I hate being alive to witness horror like this. I won't have kids so they don't see the pain of being alive and human.(just venting)
@Zoome Box ❤ vent all you want but know life is too short to be limited by ‘what ifs’ and hypotheticals
@Zoome Box it was, whoops.
Embrace death. The one true judge who executes all.
They do a former dementia care nurse it's sad disease
i don't wanna forget my family, I think I have childhood dementia.
Just found out by my family my father has starting stages of dementia. Please give me advice there open..been crying last two days off n on.. he does dialysis for kidneys and chemo for cancer too now this. I hope I don't lose him. Feel like I running out of time
Omg my ❤
My grandmother never did
Life Can Be So Sad Why God😢😢Why
❤❤❤❤❤❤😢
❤😢❤😢❤
My grandma doesn’t even remember me :(
I don't care , if they forget me... i just don't want them to wake up one morning and not know who's laying next to them...

"Do You ever forget your family?"
Alzheimer patient: who the hell are you and what are you doing in My house?
Anybody aware there s a thing call...Performance !
You should be proud to have her as your mother. And she is proud to have you as her son. God works in mysterious ways
If God is responsible for these people forgetting their loved ones and living out their shortened lives in a mental fog, that's not my God.
Yes Nate. Perfect addition.. god….
Damn she waited so long to have a kid please don’t do that 🥺he looks like 13 she like 80
In Dementia you loose a person before actually loosing a person . 🥹
