How
Hard to
See a loved
One slip away
Unable to catch that
Lost beautiful fading
Mind. Each day another spark
Dies. Recognition replaced by
Fear and confusion, unknowing eyes
The spark is gone and there is no one home.

So hard… 😢💜

My lovely brother in law 💜

My beautiful brother in law 💜
Nov 04, 2018 @ 21:34:13
That is terribly sad, for all of you x
Nov 04, 2018 @ 21:36:48
It is Sue, he is there but we can’t reach him. They live too far away for me to be anything but a voice on the phone, it hurts.💜
Nov 04, 2018 @ 21:39:08
I understand, Willow, but that voice on the phone will matter a great deal to those who are with him. And perhaps, at some level we don’t really understand, to him too. xx
Nov 04, 2018 @ 21:42:08
Yes it is all I can do, so I do. Skyping the other night he kept asking who I was, he’s known me since I was four. And my sister looks so tired . 💜💜
Nov 04, 2018 @ 22:01:25
I can’t imagine how painful it must be for you all. xx
Nov 04, 2018 @ 22:08:17
Thank you Sue 💜
Nov 04, 2018 @ 21:22:07
So tragic.

An evil disease that steals your loved ones 💜

I hear you. Thoughts have been with Tess for a while.
Nov 04, 2018 @ 21:27:26
Thank you Do, it is getting so hard for her. Each day another hurdle. She is having difficulty get out now even when she has someone to sit with J. Heidi agitated if he can’t find her. Thank you for caring I am grateful.💜💜

Lost a grandmother to this. She meant everything to me growing up. She was a big reason I became anything at all. It was hard to watch. God bless you.

Thank you Tim. I am sorry for your loss. I am talking about my brother in law. My Mum was lost to us too your a good few years before she died. Dementia is thief . 💜💜💜💜
Nov 04, 2018 @ 21:53:18
Bless you too
Nov 04, 2018 @ 22:08:53
So sad. My mom is in the beginning of this, and it is going to be a hard road. She is moving to assisted living soon. She herself watched my dad lose his memory. We were blessed that with his type, he never forgot us, just what happened recently. I’m afraid my mom’s path may be more “traditional.” 😢
Nov 04, 2018 @ 22:14:26
I am sorry you are traveling this road a second time. My mum went before her body died, that was many years ago. It is my dear brother in law that I am writing about ..and all I can do is be on the end of a phone for my tired out sister.💜💜

So sorry to hear this Willow. ❤

It is a difficult road for the caregiver. I do believe that those with Dementia are happy in their own little world. My husband lived at home with me for 3 years after he was diagnosed with Dementia. It was strenuous and challenging for me. Today he lives in a nursing home. Lo and behold his mind has come back for now and we have good conversations. Wishing you well Willow and to your brother in law, may he be blessed wherever his spirit brings him.
Nov 05, 2018 @ 06:40:20
Yes I can see how hard it is for my sister. I wish I was nearer to her. Those who are do not seem as willing to help as time goes by. Sadly he does not seem happy all of the time. I am so pleased you can communicate with your husband..it must still be hard for you. 💜💜💜
Nov 05, 2018 @ 00:02:15
Very difficult, I had friends with Dementia.❤️
Nov 04, 2018 @ 23:03:42
Yes so sad 💜💜
Nov 05, 2018 @ 07:21:24
I’m so sorry ☹️
Nov 05, 2018 @ 08:02:27
It’s very sad.💜
Nov 05, 2018 @ 10:07:10
Such a tragedy, Willow.
Nov 05, 2018 @ 12:18:53
Yes indeed Robbie 💜💜
Nov 05, 2018 @ 10:17:08
This is very difficult, Willow. I have a dear loved one who is fading before my eyes. ♡
Nov 05, 2018 @ 12:18:55
It is Jonny very distressing and as yet there is no cure. I am sorry that you too are traveling this road too 💜💜
Nov 05, 2018 @ 12:48:52
lovely to think you are thinking of us…..your words so apt…..confusion rules…
my heart is breaking as I write this ..I had my Community Nurse here this morning..she told me I must get more respite but it is so difficult to admit I need it.
At this very moment John is proposing to go up the road to buy some chocolate.He is locking all the doors and switching off the radio despite the fact that I have said I am listening to it and I don’t need to be locked in.
Now he is saying he has no money yet on Saturday he demanded I gave him some and He has put the £20 note I gave him away somewhere…
in a few minutes he will give up the whole idea…….everything changes from moment to moment and one feels giddy with it all…in fact one begins to wonder if they themselves are going mad!!!
Nov 05, 2018 @ 13:31:51
Words and the capacity to listen is all I have but they are here for you always. If I am sure to ring nudge me! Make sure you arrange that respite you know it makes sense 💜💜💜💒

So very sad….and heartbreaking for family. 💙
Nov 06, 2018 @ 10:08:23
Yes Betty so very sad 💜
Nov 06, 2018 @ 14:04:11
So heartbreaking. We went through this with my dad in his last years. Prayers for your family. ❤
Nov 06, 2018 @ 14:16:41
Thank you , it’s a hard road to travel.💜

My mother died at 92 in the early stages of dementia. I’m very glad she died still knowing who I was and generally aware of who and where and how she was.
Jan 23, 2019 @ 13:39:13
I am so glad that she did too, for everyone’s sake💜💜
