It really really does suck. Watching my mom slowly fade away. Which is tough as she used to routinely break into broadway songs every 15 min or so. Never thought I’d miss that - but I do. So sorry for your loss!
My mil flourished in a memory care facility. She did not want to go and was horribly mean about it. After a couple of weeks she loved it and was doing more than she had in years. Visiting often, as hard as it is for you, is so important for her.
We had the same experience with my Dad and now my Mom. Her ability to interact with others is diminished after she fell and broke her neck a few months ago. She physically recovered but it has accelerated the mental decline. We visit midday to catch her when she is most alert.
Sending condolences to you and your family. My dad's long battle with dementia ended nearly two years ago and I still dream about him every night. May your best memories of your MIL be a blessing and comfort to you.
My mom owns a salon and I've worked in it since I graduated high school. I have seen so many clients diagnosed with dementia go down over the years. It is a terrible disease that kills your loved one before they're ever gone. I'm so very sorry for your loss. 💔 Sending you ❤️ and light ✨️
I am so sorry for your loss. My MIL also suffers from dementia and has been spiraling downwards at an alarming rate. It truly is a cruel disease for pt and family alike. I wish you all peace.
There were so many times we thought for sure she was not long for this world, and then she would pop back. It was pneumonia that was the final straw for her. Dementia is a shitty journey with a sad yet relieving ending. Unfortunately.
