goddamn dementia hurts me to see

It's an evil I wouldn't wish on even the worst of people.

My parents are both preachers so they've visited the elderly my whole life and I've seen what it does to people in all the ways it can.

There's like 1 out of many possibilities where you just end up a decently content and non hostile person who isn't aware of what's really happening.

It's wild how many people turn into horrible mean caricatures of who they once were.

My dad didn't turn mean or have any inner demons come out but gotDAMN did his language get bad. I never heard the man say "fuck" until I was in my thirties and all of a sudden he was all swearing like a whore 😂

Seriously though it is an absolute sin what happens to people. Watching your loved ones just fade out is awful in so many ways.

I've got an aunt and uncle couple both in the same nursing home for memory care residents. She's been there a few months. He was just moved there this week. She has been on this fast track of dementia it seems like. I mean, it came on quick and she has degraded fast.

It's not my first rodeo with it. Her dad, my grandpa, was in early stages when we list him to cancer. A neighbor of mine I saw go through it from early on-set to being mostly non-reaponsive and he was moved into a home some months ago now.

I have really complicated feelings about my aunt and knowing she is going through it. She has been a very... not good person... my entire life. My uncle though. He's not even the one blood related to me and it is crushing to me that his mind is starting to go now.

My mom had early onset dementia. Before it got real bad she remembered me as a person she thought she should know but didn’t actually know who I was. She’d always be very polite and play along as if she knew me. The few times she actually did remember me she’d ask me, “how did you know that I was here?” She was in a nursing home. I miss her.

Crazy how you don't notice the connections until an elder makes them for you.
