I'm sorry to see this. My girlfriend's dad is going through it as well. He doesn't recognize anyone really at this point.

So sorry for that news thoughts and prayers and stay strong.

Hoping for the best... My mom is getting up there and having COPD issues(she is on constant oxygen now) and lives about 4 hours from me and 2 hours from my other brother. She doesn't have anyone living with her and she just doesn't have a ton of friends. The few she has live 30 or 40 minutes away. She is slightly reclusive. It just scares the shit out of me that she is all that way from anyone. I am really hoping to get a larger place here sooner rather than later and try and talk her into moving in with the wife and I.

Oh god. :(

Jake stay strong bro. I agree with what others are saying in try to remember her for who she was. Be as compassionate as you can even though it may be difficult at times.

Prayers and thoughts go out to you.

God Bless ya, Jake. I wish you and your Mom nothing but the best. You have a long hard road ahead of you. Prayers to the both of you.

I was very close to my Grandma and the same thing happened to her. I wouldn't wish it against my worst enemy.

My best advice is to have someone to talk to about what's happening because it's tough to deal with on your own. Maybe even consider going to a therapist because it can put a strain on all family relationships. I wish you and her all the best.

Sorry, Jake. Positive thoughts headed your way.

KS Smitty 05-14-2018 04:24 PM

So sorry Jake, sending prayers and good vibes your way.

There's a lot of good advice already in this thread, take advantage of it. The Planet is a good place during times of need.

My grandmother had a stroke last year and I'm now starting to suspect that dementia is setting in. It sucks.

My mom is down that same path. She’s 73. It’s sad. She gets up out of bed to go in the living room and poop.

Yep. But you still go

Jake,
