My Dear Dad

It's worse, I think, when they know. Heart-breaking. 🤗

I’m so sorry. My mother’s going through this, too. She also has lucid periods where she’s aware and feels awful about it.
I wish you and your family the very best through this time. 🥺

He's sending out signals. My mother did the same thing two years before and I selfishly told her I didn't like hearing her say she wanted to die. In retrospect I wish things were different but back then I wasn't ready to accept her rapidly deteriorating mental state. I suppose no one ever really is. He's reaching out. He knows what you can and cannot handle. You sound like you love your dad a lot. He may say things you may not understand. Just be there for him.

This is heartbreaking..I'm sorry 😞

I'm so sorry. My dad suffered from dementia. Your brain will rationalize that he (the old "he") is with you more than he is.

I'm really sorry.

I know how you feel, it’s hard to see my dad losing his abilities daily. He gets frustrated when he can’t remember how to do things that used to come to him as second nature.

My grandma had dementia as well . Always used to stay depressed . She passed away in 2019 .
I hope your dad’s situation improves

Is he still in the early stages? My thoughts are with you. It’s a bumpy ride. My mom had it

I understand how you feel. Just tell him everyday that you love him.
Every family member on my moms side gets dementia so I have alot of experience with this.

Am sorry to hear that your dad is suffering from dementia its sad to hear him say what he did but who can blame him as it can't be nice being how he is for him n understand as I knew someone that had it for 5 years n then died sadly she
is missed very much.
♥️♥️

My thoughts are with you, having lost two friends to this awful illness.

The sexcond one lost his ability to speak, and his wife said it's worse because not only was she not sure if he still recognised her, but we could not know what he was thinking.

Keep going 🌹

Thank you she is sadly missed still after 4 years.

It’s a terrible disease 🙁. I have a brother with it ..

I am so sorry. My mom has early onset dementia and she is only 61
