Im losing my dad.

He has dementia. His conversations don't make sense. He doesn't remember my visits. He is right on front of me and I don't know of where he is.
It's tough man.

I'm really sorry honey, I can't even imagine how that must feel, 😔 watching someone you love fall apart in front of you -- let alone someone you once saw as invincible as a child. I want to give you all the hugs, and I want to let you know that it's OK to feel weak and helpless sometimes despite the social expectation that you show strength in the face of extreme pain. You deserve all the hugs in the world and I hope you have an outlet to express yourself.

Nancy Regan called it the long goodbye.
I am sorry you have to go through this.
My mom briefly forgot us, before she passed,it was hard to see.
It's very tough. I have no wisdom to offer, only that I've been there and I know how it breaks your heart. 🤗

It’s so hard. I’m sorry you’re going through it. I went through it with my mom.
I’m so sorry. I’m going through something similar with my mother. Sometimes she knows who I am, other times she confuses me with one of my sisters. It’s difficult and I’m so sorry that you’re experiencing it, too. 🥺

@bijouxbroussard I talked to a friend that went through it and they said that the thing to remember is that it's only hard on me because I see what's happening. They don't. Its actually a peacefull existence for them

I am so sorry. Dementia is a terrible disease.
