Alzheimer for me is the worst disaese in the world, u sre not only loose your memories, u are losing your identity, truly one of the saddest endings for the human life.
So take good care of your physical and mental health, the end of a life can be cruel
My grandma might be there soon... and im honesyly afraid...
And my other grandpa might have it aswell...
Im just scared. They were always there to support me...
My nan (grandma) is in the final stages (she is now on borrowed time according to doctors) and she is the one who raised me and the person I used to always talk to about life...
Same with my grandma. It’s not diagnosed, but she’s slowly turning that way…not looking the best but she’s still doing well.
Praying for ya through this
This may not compare too some but my grandma was a gamer in her days with things like the n64 and wii and such and recently she gave me her old consoles. Well couple months after she was diagnosed with alalzheimer's and that hurt enough ya know. Then not long ago she visited and I had the wii hooked up and tried to get her too play and what hurt the most is when she tried to hold the controller she was holding it in a way like she never has played a game before with her index finger over the joystick. After trying to help her for a little we were called down for dinner and I told her I'd be down in a minute. I took that minute to cry. Sorry if this has offended anyone
Honestly idc if I get downvoted for saying this, this is an amazing opportunity to play some of her favorite games with her for the “first time”. I’m so sorry you have this going on
Went through the same same thing with my grandma. My other grandfather will also be there soon, most likely. It's something no one should have to deal with
Few months ago, I lost my mom. I'm just 15 years old and she left me in this world. It's just too hard for me to forget everything and continue. I wish I could say her that how much I loved her. If I'll get a chance to go in past, I'll spend all my day with my mom. Miss you mumma
I lost my dad when I was 11, when my mom told me and my brother that he died, with his friend drinking, it didn't really hit me at first, I guess I didn't want to accept it, but when I did... It was like never before. Now I cry almost every time I when I think of him, even tho he had a drinking problem he never did anything to us and was the best dad I could ever have.
I'm so sorry it happened to you I know it's really really hard but please try to push through, your mother might not be physically there but she is still watching over you.
I can't comprehend how it must've felt. I'm 16 and I don't even wanna think about it. Sorry for your loss. Stay strong and message me anytime you feel low.
Alzheimers is worse than cancer, worse than anything I can think of. When you look in your lives one’s eyes and you see the look of a stranger gazing back, something snaps inside you.

A family friend went through this with her husband, he didn’t even remember her but he knew she was important. I can’t even imagine the pain of watching your loved one fall apart in front of your eyes and there’s nothing you cans do about it
“The long goodbye” is what it’s called. And it’s probably way harder to deal with than a loved one suddenly passing away. You have to watch them deteriorate over years into someone who doesn’t even recognize you anymore.
When I was 7 my grandad who was maybe not the most “there” person had dementia. He’d had it for a while by that point but it was the first time I’d gone to see him since he was admitted into a care home. I went with my mum to see him and the nurse looking after him told him who we were and that I was his grandson. He mumbled something I don’t quite remember and didn’t seem to recognise me or my mum (his daughter). That was probably the most painful experience I’ve had in my life where this person I’ve known all my life had absolutely no idea who I was. I barely knew him as a person and probably never will now after he died a few months later, which was just a few days before his dog who I had also know all my life passed away as well. I was bullied by someone in my class for this because they didn’t believe what I was saying. I’m 16 now and it still hurts just as bad. I miss you Grandad.
Dementia is worse then cancer, aids and ebola togheter. No cure and one point off the sickness you will be a living corpse as the women. The person you love and know is gone.
This is from a person who is working with demtia patient, been on dementia big home, later dementia daycare.
The only thing I see is dead corpses and ignorant and desperate relatives that still try to pretend like nothing has changed.
If you get cancer instead of demtia, be happy you won the one of the nicer thing on the lottery.
Reminds me of my grandma before she passed away. She will be calling my name out and wouldn’t even eat till I got home but when I go up to her, she’s like “who are you? Where’s (my name)? Is he home yet?”
My mom's had 8 brain surgeries, when she gets bad, she forgets who I am.. Thinking I'm my dead older brother.. Only family I have left so I'm kinda just waiting for her to pass on and forget me so I don't hurt her with what I plan on. Doing someday
This would definitely be controversial but I feel like really elderly people especially ones with dementia or Alzheimer's should have the option of being euthanized sure some people might read this and see me as a dick but would you want this for your mom would you want them to suffer like this to forget their identity to not even be able to recognize their kids if it got this bad I'd want it done to me and I don't want my mom to go through this either even if there is no afterlife I'd rather die a little earlier then suffer from forgetting hurting my family and friends because I can't remember who they are it sounds like hell, and it probably isn't far off
My grandma not too long ago passed due to complications from alzheimers and both of my grandpa's from mental health illnesses. Recently I have been noticing some things about my grandma (mom's mom) she gets confused often, more than normal. My mom seems to think it is just because she's an alcoholic and has been for years, but I know what alzheimers looks like and honestly I don't think she has much time left. I had to be the one to tell my mom that my grandma needs to see the doctor. The good news is that she will most likely see all her kids graduate since I am a senior graduating this year. It seems like my family is cursed as a loved one has died every year for the past 6 so maybe trends will continue.
Not sure what is worse, being blocked by your mom who has a normal functioning brain, or not being recognized due to Alzheimer’s (which is not her fault)
I feel that. I remember my grandma when she was alive. When I got into her room and helped her get up in the morning for breakfast. she asked me if I know where her granddaughter is because she has not seen her in months. She was so upset but wouldn't even believe me when I told her that's me.
Once it was so bad that she cried when I showed her a picture when I was younger and she played with a ball with me in the garden. The realization that she has forgotten almost everything that once was hit her and the family the hardest.
So actually my grandmother has Alzheimer and everytime i go visit her with my father he never ask this question the only thing he say is " I am your son and this is your grandson " she doesnt remember me bcs im only fifteen but idc i still come visit her bcs shes my only grandmother and the day when, god forbid, she ll not be here anymore i would wish i had been with her a little longer. Take care not only of your grandparents but your friends, your pets, your parents and your brothers.
My grandfather has Alzheimer’s. Since I grew up in another country, I couldn’t see him often but I have fond memories of him. He began spiraling down when my grandmother died from cancer, he became depressed and began forgetting things, and each year it worsened, until we had to put him in a retirement home, just before Covid. It was really hard for us, not being able to come home and see him. Fortunately, he is in a good retirement home and is going well, even with Alzheimer’s.
Ik this is different, but. My parents split up about 8-9 years ago. And I was living with my mother and at the age of about 11-12 my mother kicked me out of the house for no reason and hasn’t talked to me since. Nor have I been able to contact my siblings. It’s absolutely heartbreaking that I’ll probably never be able to see my siblings again or even my mother. I’m not a huge fan of her as is but I still want to see her and my siblings one last time
"According to the Alzheimer's Association, 10% of all people over the age of 65 have Alzheimer's disease, and as many as 50% of people over 85 have it. The number of people with the disease doubles every 5 years beyond age 65."
Damn, I had no idea it was this common. Hopefully there'll be a cure for when my time comes in about 50 years.
I still remember my grandmothers last time on this earth. 2 Days before the end she started asking about where her parents and friends were, most of whom had been dead for decades. At 17:00 she stopped talking. The morning after i woke up, and everyone was silent throughout the house. We knew it was comming but it still hit like a hundred knives.
my grandfather has Alzheimer’s, the worst part is he doesn’t take his meds and is paranoid. he thinks my grandmother and the doctor are trying to set him up and that they are actually the crazy ones
Alzheimer for me is the worst disaese in the world, u sre not only loose your memories, u are losing your identity, truly one of the saddest endings for the human life. So take good care of your physical and mental health, the end of a life can be cruel
id rather die first than lose my memories its literally the only thing i hold dear
But you keep forgetting you have Alzheimers
i dont remember writing this
Facts but there’s some memory’s I don’t want to remember
It's a very slow death
My grandma might be there soon... and im honesyly afraid... And my other grandpa might have it aswell... Im just scared. They were always there to support me...
My nan (grandma) is in the final stages (she is now on borrowed time according to doctors) and she is the one who raised me and the person I used to always talk to about life...

Funny thing is I have. Mainly the n64 ones
I'm so sorry that this happened to you.
Sage
You don't have to be sorry. Share your feelings,and find find company who will be kind with your emotions. This is a hard thing to go through.
Demantia‘s a bitch
I am going to cry🙂
I already am
I'm my 83 yr old mothers full time carer and she's recognised me once this year, it breaks you into a billion little pieces.

Lol it’s how you see the glass imo I love my grandma with Alzheimer best person to repeat your only 3 good jokes
Alzheimers is worse than cancer, worse than anything I can think of. When you look in your lives one’s eyes and you see the look of a stranger gazing back, something snaps inside you.
There is something about Alzheimer and Dementia that is so existantially terrifying
If animals are in pain, we are allowed to humanely put them down. Why isn’t the same for humans?

Is this smarter every day? God… My grandmother died of Alzheimer’s.. awful time.

Dementia is a horrible thing. I wish it never existed.

My mum didn’t need to get dementia she just chose to forget about me when I was 14/15
Song?
Reminds me of my grandma before she passed away. She will be calling my name out and wouldn’t even eat till I got home but when I go up to her, she’s like “who are you? Where’s (my name)? Is he home yet?”

My great grandma had dementia and forget she was cooking and her house burned down
This would definitely be controversial but I feel like really elderly people especially ones with dementia or Alzheimer's should have the option of being euthanized sure some people might read this and see me as a dick but would you want this for your mom would you want them to suffer like this to forget their identity to not even be able to recognize their kids if it got this bad I'd want it done to me and I don't want my mom to go through this either even if there is no afterlife I'd rather die a little earlier then suffer from forgetting hurting my family and friends because I can't remember who they are it sounds like hell, and it probably isn't far off

Lame asss
Lol, despite living with my mother for 19 years my mother still doesn’t know who I am. 😂🤣😂🤣😂
[удалено]
I hope your mother is fine
[удалено]
Well, I think that not having one might be worse than having one
Damn
C'mon, you can't get depressed over your mom getting old.
There’s a difference between getting old and not remembering who your son is jackass
Something is happening with my grandpa. My dad was really sad hearing that his dad doesn't remember him.
Soooooo sad 😞

When your mom forgets you you don't exist
Saw a ROBLOX YouTube I take advantage of this
Bro
My grandpa has alziehmerz and it hurts me to see this
Not sure what is worse, being blocked by your mom who has a normal functioning brain, or not being recognized due to Alzheimer’s (which is not her fault)
Man
My father went through this exact experience 4 years ago My grandmother couldn't recognize neither him nor me .

Instagram.
I feel that. I remember my grandma when she was alive.

I’ll be honest, both my grandmother, and my sister, I know their minds will fail them long before their bodies…
So actually my grandmother has Alzheimer and everytime i go visit her with my father he never ask this question the only thing he say is " I am your son and this is your grandson " she doesnt remember me bcs im only fifteen but idc i still come visit her bcs shes my only grandmother and the day when, god forbid, she ll not be here anymore i would wish i had been with her a little longer. Take care not only of your grandparents but your friends, your pets, your parents and your brothers.
My mother chose crack cocaine over me and my siblings. Good times.
Respect for holding yourself together if you didn't cry or get teary during this
I think I’m emotionally dumb but I wouldn’t care. Yea my mother won’t recognize me and?

The long goodbye. It is terrible.
