"Such a horrible mental condition for both the person suffering and for those who have to witness it. The last two years of my grandmother's life were two years of fear and confusion for her. It was dreadful to witness it, so much so that you'd hope she'd just pass away and finally have some peace. And when she finally did it was almost a relief. Yes, we were upset that she'd died but in a way we were happy that her suffering was over. You're doing a good thing OP." aww yah thanks! Well yes I can relate too what you said their, my mom hardly knows me, she is talking too someone, and doesn't know it's me, and then an hour later she could say my name, made me wonder how the mind works and I guess I want too know more about it, and pass on my knowledge too those who are going through same ordeal with their parent, I would encourage all carer's too do the course also, | |||

"Theres many different forms of dementia, from Alzheimers Disease to vascular dementia, mixed dementia and dementia with lewy bodies. Thats only a few ive named but theres many more. It depends on the initial onset of the disease and the affected part of the brain that will determine its type. Thanks very much for those encouraging words, yah as it happens, I am on a few days off, my sis has taken her, we share her careing, but I get the carer's allowance, and I live in with my mom, she gets respite aswell, so all 3 of us get a break together, it can be draining at times, but takes patience aswell, and understanding, The very best of luck doing your course. Its great that your arming yourself with knowledge which you can use as a coping mechanism. Dont be afraid to ask questions to go deeper with how it affects your mum and use the support to your advantage. Coping with a loved one suffering with this illness is really hard and mind draining at the best of times. Make sure you take time out for yourself also and take help from others to give you a well deserved break. I wish you the very best of luck. " | |||
