So...yeah...not great right now.

10 years ago, roughly, my aunt was Diagnosed with Dementia. She was always a bright and strong-willed women. So resisted it, and she did very well, but nobody wins that fight forever...


Unfortunately she has been degrading rapidly over the last couple of years....i was recently informed today that the doctors have moved her into Hospice care, shes gone downhill very fast...shes even refusing to eat I'm told...


So shes got...between 3 and 6 months they say. :(

They sent her home to be with my uncle untill she runs out of time.

I very much love my aunt but the last time I visited her about a year or so ago she was starting to go...im told shes not recognizing family members now.

She still has Lucid moments but fuck me man...Dementia is the absolute worst.

I know what that's like. I cared for my grandma when she had dementia.

It's a fate I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. I've told many people that I don't want to live like that if it were to happen to me.

Yea, its rough, some of my grandfolks were starting to have it a couple years or so before they passed, I didn't see the worst of it, but I cant imagine it was easy for you.

Nothing scares the shit out of me more than dementia. I'm so sorry youve had close family suffering it too.

It doesnt run in my blood thankfully but that doesnt mean it can happen...I feel so terrible for my aunt and my beloved uncle who will be there with her until she is gone.

...then I suspect he will shortly join her.

I offer my deepest sympathies. Dementia is horrible, both for those that are afflicted and those that care for them.

After my uncle Tony died his wife, my aunt Bea, got Alzheimer's and died a few months later. I remember visiting her with the family and she didn't recognize anyone. I'd leave the room to keep the younger kids busy and play with them using the Brio train sets they had but whenever I walked back in to check on her and the adults it was like I was a whole new person. Very sad. Very rough. I'm fairly certain her mind, body, and spirit died from heartbreak. Prayers for you and your family. I hope y'all can get the closure you need.

one of our worlds greatest wrong, it robs the victim and their loved ones of who they are...I can't think of a greater theft.

exactly, i just wish this disease got more funding for effective treatment :(

there is so much funding for cancer research which is a good thing of course

but people survive cancer, now about 50% of the time i once heard

but to this date there has not been a single person to survive Alzheimer's, Huntington's or Pick's

these diseases are 100% death sentences to this day

My partner went through it with his dad too. It was very hard for him to deal with.

I remember when my grandparents went through it. It's hard to watch someone who has been a part of your childhood start looking at you as if you were a stranger...

I am very sorry to hear this. Dementia took my grandmother. It was hard to see her like that. I imagine it's just as hard for you.
