I'm so sorry for all of you that have been dealing with elderly parents or relatives going through dementia. It is so difficult for the family to deal with even more so than the person themselves.
My mother has late stage Alzheimer's disease now. She lived with us for years and years and I took care of her while working full time. It was very stressful to deal with on a day to day basis.
She is now in a brand new nursing home with wonderful staff that was built not too far from where we live. It is so hard to see her like this though with such a poor quality of life at this time. She doesn't know us or even who she is at this point in time. It's so sad to see her like this. |
