Me having conversations with Alzheimer's Patients at work ...

Just warms my heart.

Anne: Have you seen my mother? (Anne's 99 years old)

Me: No not today but i'm sure she's thinking about you right now.

Anne: (with a huge smile) says that is so nice!

Anne: is it cold outside?

Me: No! But i can order some snow and have it delivered here by Christmas

Anne : (With the biggest smile ever) thank you! And then she hugs me.

Moments like this makes it all worthwhile!

You're an angel. My late grandmother in law suffered from dementia and she would often ask for her mother as well. Now I'm seeing the woman that largely raised me suffer with Alzheimer's and it is hard.

@PepsiColaP I am so sorry 🌺

@AngelUnforgiven i dont see it as "sorry" I see it as part of life - or is that part of death. Thing is at least they themselves are usually not aware of it.

You’re an angel. It’s the saddest work I can think of

@SmoKin it's sad but I have so many happy moments with them as well one of my previous clients, a male, was crying one day I was like what's wrong Karl, he says i'm pregnant and I can't take care of a baby I was hugging him dying laughing 😂😂😂 I kept explaining to him your are a man it just wasn't registering I finally told him it will be okay I will be there with him every step of the way 🤣

Decent pay, staff and equipment/supplies to do the job wouldn’t hurt either.

Captain · 61-69, M

I guess she'll have forgotten about the snow promise by Christmas

AngelUnforgiven · 51-55, F

@Captain yes she will have.
