S2:E10 Do They KNOW They Have Dementia?

[@semiawarddowns6112]

Folding laundry (sometimes just a bundle of kitchen towels pulled out of the drawer and warmed up in the dryer) gives my mil purpose.

Excellent idea!

My mum will say 'there is something wrong with me' at times but that's about it. She isn't aware of her alzheimers now that it has progressed. Only at the very beginning did she complain about memory loss. N9w when she is feeling down and having a moment she asks for her mum and that is hard to see as she cries and almost works herself into a state because she can't get a hold of her. I'm just glad that it only lasts about 30-60mins. In these moments redirecting doesn't help at all and only a drive to 'her mums' helps a little. And this is my opportunity to take her out to do some supermarket shopping or even go for a coffee because she has by then, forgotten why we went out.

My husband is diagnosed with dementia, already filed for divorce...not aware of his mental sickness.

@@vickyrojas1999 I am so sorry. He needs more help now than ever before as he will probably continue to make more mistakes. I hope this video was helpful and maybe you can delay that divorce and get some help. If you want more details on Anosognosia go to season 1 episode 18. Let me know how I can help. Take care, Teresa
