Daughter Shows What Alzheimer’s Did To Her Mother Over 2 Years, And Her Last Works Will Break Your Heart

I shivered while looking at the photo. Somehow this simple set sully shows how disgusting and horrible dementia is. It takes everything that makes person unique and throws it in toilet and then nothing remains, just body without mind. No memories, no personality, nothing. I so wish they could find cure for such diseases.

My grandpa kyle had Alzheimer's and died of a stroke a few years ago. he couldn't remember that he was in his own house or that he was married to my grandma, but the most heartbreaking thing, to me at least, is that he never, ever forgot me. all you had to do was say my name and his whole face would light up. he loved me so much and remembered me till he died. he was often heard asking nurses and my grandma when I was going to come back and visit, just after i left the room. It really does a tool on a person and I have never seen anything as horrible as someone forgetting their whole life, and only remember one part.

I have worked with the elderly and Alzheimer’s is the most cruel disease to have to witness. Family would come to visit relatives and were crestfallen that their parents, aunts or uncles would have more of a "bond" with staff than themselves. I tried to explain that it's more of a familiarity, but it's hard for them to see that the person they have loved their whole lives are fading away, becoming a stranger. My own Gran was diagnosed and it took over rapidly, She had spent 3 months in a recliner and had to be fed, she wouldn't move or speak, just sleep and we thought this was how her last days would play out...... until one day she almost reawakened, talking, walking and laughing again. We know it won't last and it's just part of the progression but it was amazing to almost have her back

Although i am very late to this post, i have to say i’m horrified that there are even trolls on a post such as this. Alzheimer’s is a serious disease, and people still show up here just to screw with one another. it really breaks my heart.

My grandmother suffers from dementia,and j gave to confess something..she was always self centred,always talked about how great she us,how she helps everyone,she use to laugh at my other grandma for worrying about me and my brother as we grew up in harsh conditions and so because if her terrible personality I always felt like she will end up with dementia....and so these days I can't deal with her insanity because I never formed a loving bond with her.she was never a nice person and j feel like thus us her punishment for being a b***h yo everyone for no reason.and now she is in the beginning stages where she us depressed and all about nobody loves me,why am I not the centre if everyone's world,and the whole family us just fed up with her bull*rap..sj there I said it-i can't deal with my monster grandma,even though gave in mind,we are doing everything for her that she needs.she just doesn't see it and lives in her own world of sorrow.i always said she will die in tears feeling abandoned
