Uuugh one of the oldest market vendors is struggling with Alzheimer's

She is soooo sweet and I am able to calm her down, but it's so sad.

She was very tearful and confused today.

😔 Luckily I have her daughter's contact, so I was able to call her and let her know.

Ugh, to be losing it and knowing you’re losing it, heartbreaking. And of course for the family too.

@OlderSometimesWiser yeah it's really sad. She is such an intelligent woman and she has lived quite a life

Her daughter is for sure heartbroken.

And unfortunately she is starting to become suspicious of her daughter because of her confusion 😔

@caccoon No happy endings in these stories. Hope she still has some time before her work at the market has to stop.

@OlderSometimesWiser I'm hoping so too, it's such a good support system for her and she loves the market.

But her daughter was mentioning in April... 😔 Unfortunately it seems pretty unsafe for her to be without a helper.
