My wife mother lived with us and she would wake up every morning telling us her name and that she was sent to help out the community by the Bishop! When asked she was 21 years old. My wife would tell her that she 91 years old and she lived with us. She didn’t believe her. I would ask if she knew who we were. She would say I was the cook and my wife was the caretaker. When I would point to my wife do you know who she is (her daughter) she would say my mother or it would be her sister. It was sad to see someone you love lose touch with reality. She passed away this past May. My wife pampered her until her final breath at 12:15 am. It was awesome to see such love and compassion.

I'm not being rude, but I highly doubt it. Your comment comes from never having experienced looking after someone suffering from dementia in real life. Getting asked the same things several times a day can be extremely difficult and stressful on the carer, especially if you're a family member. It's also heartbreaking when they forget who you are to them. My heart goes out to Dan it's not easy at all.

It is helping me understand dementia. My grandpop is an old technology officer at the bank retired since he was 57 years old. He did well in life.

It's terrible. Much love and respect Dan.

I wish the State of Idaho would have taken my mother's driver's license away from her. In her early 70's she started doing things like taking a left at red lights. When I said anything she became defensive. It was several years later I learned she had macular degeneration. She had also become quite deaf.

Edward reminds me so much of my parents. I moved in with my mother after my Dad passed away,( 1996). She had been living on her own, but it was decided it would be best for her if I moved in with her. I lived with her from 1999 until she passed away in 2011. It can be difficult being a parent to ones's aging parent, but we created many memories which I would not trade for anything. I was fortunate to have been close to both my parents. I miss them, but know God willing, I will see them & other loved ones again some day. ❤
