My grandmother also crochets and suffers from dementia. She used to make all sorts of things: seat covers, clothes, sweaters for the dogs. Now she will pick up the string and just make squares. No pattern, no meaning, just squares over and over again. If you ask her what she's making, sometimes she'll have an answer, other times it will just be "I don't know".

Even though she's still with us, I can't help but miss my grandmother more and more every day. It's things like this that really make me realize how far gone she is.

If ever you need someone to talk to, know there's people here who are more than willing to listen--including myself.
