my paternal grandmother had Alzheimer’s for more than 8 years. that was hard but we weren’t super-close and the devastation didn’t register as much as it should’ve. now it’s my nana, my maternal grandmother, man. it guts me whenever i think too much about it.
I get it. I was super close to my grandma. I feel so lucky she didn't really experience cognitive decline until the last year or so of her life. My mom had Parkinson's, but I started to see cognitive effects in the last few months.
Definitely. My father who had dementia just died Oct. 22. My mother and I cared for him. It was absolute Hell after he started having psychotic breaks. Much love for all others taking care of a loved one with dementia. MUCH. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
