My husband and I have talked about what to do at the end of life way before he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. Neither of us want anything to sustain life if our mind is gone, no surgery, no feeding tube, no IV's, we only want to be kept as comfortable as possible and to be loved until the end. I'm sorry if this offends some people but this is what we want.

My husband and I have made this same decision. The one with Dementia doesn't really know what is happening. Sometimes it is really best for them to go on. They are suffering no more. My husband is in stage 4 with some symptoms of 5. He has Vascular Dementia. I also watched and helped care for my mother with this same type of Dementia brought on by a major stroke. My brother in law is in the last stage of Dementia. She is right, they want to be loved. We all respond to love.

Loved your video. My older sister is stage 6/7. She was accepted to Hospice a few months ago. We have lived together the last 8 years. I was a Care Attendant prior to her diagnosis, so I quit me job to stay with her now. It’s not an easy disease to have and no less easy to be a full time caregiver. I love my sister, not the disease. I wish all caregivers treated the disease and loved the love one. Be kind to them. Our greatest commandment is love 💕

I am a new subscriber. My spouse of 58 years is in stage 4. I can’t tell you how thankful I am to have found you. I have been telling our family that no one in my husband’s family had dementia so I was shocked when he first started showing symptoms. Watching this video tonight when you were explaining stage 7 I remembered visiting my husbands grandmother in a nursing home and you described her perfectly. She lived in another state so I wasn’t around her. Besides dementia wasn’t even in my vocabulary back then. All of my husbands uncles and aunts died with heart attacks or strokes. Had they lived longer maybe dementia would have been more prevalent in his family tree. I will admit that stage 6 and 7 frightened me a bit. Your videos will be a lifeline to me. I’m a Christian so I know the Lord will sustain me.

I so appreciate your speaking about the need for connection all thru till the end. I've treasured the times singing hymns with my mom just as she did!

My mother had Alzheimer's and passed 9 years ago. I love how you say that in the end the connection is soul to soul. The nurse's aid encouraged me to climb into bed with Mom if I thought it would comfort her. She was nonverbal at that time. She was agitated and reaching out blindly one night. I petted her arms gently as I climbed into the bed. She looked intently into my eyes, and suddenly kissed my whole face and forehead with such strength! As she stared at my face, I felt as if I was seeing God's beloved child, not just my Mom. Raising my children was a blessing, but caring for Mom through the end was transformative. Soul to soul.

We all live together ❤️ I needed some reassurance that we were doing everything we could and now I know we are and that we will need to call for more assistance now that she can no longer walk barely and getting her in and out of the bed and to the portable potty at her bedside is Soo hard! She also has congestive heart failure. It's straining on her and her breathing as well as us and trying to lift and pick her up is horrendous now. Thank you for these wonderful videos.

Vicky is a true gift from God. We listened to her videos the last 2 years of our mothers journey thru this hideous disease. We learned so much from her. Our beautiful mother escaped her suffering about a year ago and we all got to sit with her and say all the things, she would put her hand on our arm. I have no idea if it was an intentional act or just a spontaneous reaction to our touch. Once we had all been to see her, she left us peacefully im her sleep. Our lives will never be the same without her, but she is free 💗😥 dont be afraid, be there, say all the things, do all the things, no regrets

“I would not deny them heaven.” This is very good advice. This series of videos is very helpful. I have found it necessary to supplement our visits to my loved one’s medical practitioners with good advice from professional caregivers. The medical practitioners are wonderful, particularly in treating certain symptoms, but I have found that the most important thing is the help of an informed and compassionate caregiver. The more information I acquire, the better I am as a caregiver. I still have to work on improving my patience, tact and resilience.

The biggest difference in caregiving for a person in late stage of dementia and viewing their actions as a toddler is when raising a toddler, you are helping them to grow into this world were with a person with dementia you are watching them regress into being a toddler from being the once strong person they were. The dignity they once had is gone. Diapers and needing to be changed, trying to toilet them when they have no clue what a toilet is anymore or what to do on it, brushing their teeth for them or using swabs in mouth wash (there breathe starts stinking when the body starts shutting down), being hand feed because they can't connect hand to mouth or use a utensil due to hand tremors, putting them in bed because they can't comprehend how to lay in bed or put blankets on, lifting a full-grown adult after a fall to a toddler is no comparison. I once viewed taking care of my mom at end of stage of dementia as like raising a toddler but at best it's like taking care of a toddler with extreme disabilities that already had a great life. Being robbed of knowing how great they once were and seeing them cry when they remember who they once were and being robbed of those memories. Then after they are stripped of everything mentally then they are set free is hard to watch. One thing though do not care give for a loved one at home unless you are 100% ready to truly fight this evil disease next to them knowing that at the end you well lose the fight.

Our granny age 98 is in a memory care facility and with hospice. In a Geri chair, hospital bed, incontinent, soft diet, totally dependent. She has been mostly non verbal for several years. However last year she was talking and asking questions for a few hours and then back to infant stage. Then last week she started talking again for a day. It was wonderful to have her back for those hours but also very confusing for the family. This last time she seemed to remember her childhood, did not respond to photos of her husband.

A while ago he forgot who I am, but he still was aware I am a person he loves. I always thought, it would be tough to not be recognised by him, but actually it was not as hard as expected. What made it easier was, that he was ok with me being around and he still trusted me❤. Right now, he is retracting more and more and becoming completely non-verbal. Yesterday, he didn't even make eye contact 😢. But I am so happy to be with him. I really think you are right, it's a bit like caring for a baby. I often see that my experience as a mother is very helpful in our current situation.

very helpful. I wonder about the belief that people with dementia "don't know who" people are, or that we lose our memory. Being unable to bring up the name is not the same as forgetting. Many people also have lucid hours near death where they converse normally - after NOT speaking for a year or more. Also CBD oil can restore language in some patients as well as some "lost" abilities. The modern view of dementia is based on theories looking for a pharmaceutical to sell. Nuns study showed nun with massive plaques and zero ALZ and one with minor plaques but ALZ. Where are memories held? Question everything, behave as if the person still exists and cares. 90% of all communication is non verbal.

I have a question is this true that in the severe stage they can't take care of oneself but in moderate stage they can I heard ppl saying this is true.

I would have liked it so much had this lady spoken something about the love of Creator/ God Almighty to the dying soul who might perhaps feel consoled by the remembrance of the next life with Him , after a tough life on earth.💫

Hi Grace. Sure hope you get this message. Curious about the stage of 6 and 7. It’s been said it moves faster and quickly compared to other stages. Is this accurate in your opinion?
@DementiaWithGrace8 ай бұрын
Hey there! In my experience, each stage moves about the same length for that PERSON, meaning how they moved from 4-5 will be 5 to 6 to 7. Of course, 7 is the final stage and that can vary. I hope this helps! All my love, Vicky ❤️

The sound is a problem. I've got it as high as it will go and can hardly hear. Can you do anything to fix that?

Is it just this video? Or all of them? That would help me pinpoint the problem!

There's a stage 7?
@kristenjohns84983 жыл бұрын
Stage 7 is the final stage. It’s the end, everything shutting down finally. They won’t talk and they will be fully dependent. This point is a good time to start accepting they will soon be gone.

My husband's stage 7 lasted about four days, it was a blessing that he passed so quickly and didn't have to linger in the state he was in.

Do people talk in a baby voice

They can. The voice gets weaker, and they may talk almost in a whisper. Big hugs.
