Dementia doesn’t stop someone from experiencing grief. Remember this when your loved ones are having negative emotions, they may not be able to express their emotions and take it out on those around them…just like a lot of people without dementia do too! So, be aware that it’s natural to grieve. Give them space to do so, be there with a listening ear and shoulder to lean on even if they can’t express to you verbally they can feel your love through these moments. 💜 Caregivers, please, don’t beat yourself up if you cannot get your loved one out of this grieving state of mind. It’s a part of being human and you can’t keep people smiling 24/7. It’s ok to feel our emotions.

How long can a person live with Alzheimer disease? Is it a disease ends with death?

Today comes with so many complicated feelings. Joy and love, for a woman who really raised me to see the best in myself even when I felt there was no goodness to see. She did her best to protect me from the harshness of the world and cultivated endless compassion. She was not perfect and failed many times. As an adult watching my mother get early onset dementia in her 60s has meant 10+ years of mourning the mother that was and making room for who she is now. This transition to being an adult caretaker has not been easy and she took care of me when I had mono and missed school for 6 months, she held my hand during most of my reproductive health issues, she understood me in ways that most of the adults in life didn’t care to. So happy birthday Mom, to me you’ll always be the woman i love, happy and loving and singing my name in the car
