Feeling sad

Not looking for sympathy or even replies, just needed to get this down somewhere.

My wonderful mother was diagnosed with early onset alzhiemers at the age of 59. Now at the age of 63 she's in the final stages of the disease. Today, she confirmed what I'd suspected for a while, she doesn't know I'm her daughter.

Although I had thought this was the case for a while having it confirmed has really upset me

can imagine it has upset you. Have been through a similar experience and it is as you say soul destroying as they do seem to become children again. I wish you all the very best for the future and hope you have a very good support network to help you

That is tough! And I dont believe any amount of "knowing" about the disease can quite prepare you for that moment - it is a really sad loss for you. So sorry to hear that. xx

Went through the same with my mother. Thankfully she was in her 80s but it was heartbreaking , she even lost the ability to speak. The strange thing was although she forgot who I was and nearly everything else, she still recognised our dog !

My Dad and brother both had Alzhiemers,and it broke my heart to see them receeding into not remembering anything except their very early years.My brother got it a 72,and Dad got it at 82,so I am dreading the forth come years.They say it is hereditary in the family,I hope I am the exception to the rule.

Thank you for your kind words. Mum still recognises me but just as a visitor/carer rather than her daughter.

Its Dad I feel for the most, he's her main carer & with her every day, he's aged 10 years in the last 2. Sometimes I worry I'm losing both of them to this disease

I am very sorry to hear this. My friends mother has this and she also doesn't know her daughter or husband.

It was my friends sons wedding a few months ago and her mother went to the church ceremony with a carer from the nursing home. I heard her say to my friend 'are you the queen'.

It is heartbreaking for you but hopefully even though this illness is awful, you will still have special treasured moments with your mother.

My mum is at a similar stage; sometimes she does know who I am but it's rare now. She's in her own happy little world, as are a lot of sufferers, so the real victims of all types of dementia are the families.

I feel for you.
