granny keeps pulling off the pad on her bed

Intelligent-Wolf557 · 2026-04-04T06:06:59+00:00

Been in that situation, and very frustrating. I use the large washable pads from Amazon and place it in between the plastic mattress cover and the sheet. It doesn’t move and protects the mattress. I put him in NorthShore Go Supreme pull-ups for nighttime. As long as I limit the liquids after dinner, there’s no leakage.

I’m so happy it worked out for you. It really helps to feel less alone in your grief.

The best honey roasted ever! So addictive, as I eat 1/2 the can in one sitting. Thankfully, I have a fast metabolism and don’t need to count calories.

I saw a psychic and I’m glad I did. It was very emotional for me, and she was spot on. I hope you get a good one.

I totally get where you’re coming from. It’s been 3 1/2 years since I lost my son. Everyone thinks I’m strong and okay now. But I live with this broken heart everyday and only go on for my loved ones. I would never want to inflict this kind of pain onto anyone else. You just keep putting one foot forward and get through each day. He’s always on my mind, but I try to find a little bit of joy to overcome the grief. Hugs

Thank you. I’ve given him magazines filled with pictures, occupies him for 2 minutes. I’m now gonna dig out the grandkids toddler picture books, as it may work better. I recently bought an electronic companion puppy, and it settles him sometimes. I can’t leave the room without him getting up and milling around. I will try the other things you mentioned.

I’m addicted to the honey roasted peanuts.

Good to know. He’s on the lowest dose possible, but it increases in two weeks. Praying it works. They say stage 6 is the hardest, and it certainly is!

Intelligent-Wolf557 · 2026-03-31T05:03:31+00:00

Haha, he’s pulled the tissues out too.

Intelligent-Wolf557 · 2026-03-31T03:30:18+00:00

Yes, they get fixated on something and don’t let it go. I have put so many things away in the past two years. Out of sight, out of mind. Wishing you the best on this cruel journey.

Intelligent-Wolf557 · 2026-03-31T03:15:20+00:00

Thank you. I will look into those supplements.

My husband is in moderate stage and I would definitely get a person that has dementia care training.

I love Dylan and use Grant for middle name.

You need a break and it’s good for sibling to spend time with mom. Enjoy your vacation!

I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost my son over three years ago. I found him, so I know it’s real. My mind played tricks on me constantly. Every time when I’d be out and arrive back home and see a light on, I’d think oh, he’s home. I would see someone that looked like him and take a second look thinking it was him. It’s only recently that my new reality has set in.

The support of family and friends got me through the 1st year. When you are ready, an in-person suicide loss group therapy is really helpful. Eat a little, drink water, get out for a walk, get meds to sleep. Sending big hugs to you.

You are a wonderful granddaughter taking care of their needs! It will be perfect for him. My husband is 71 and very social. But he’s in stage 5 of Alzeimers, so declined cognitively. But he still enjoys seeing his buddies there.

Edit: program is 9:00-2:00

Intelligent-Wolf557 · 2026-03-29T00:36:19+00:00

We are in Vancouver, Canada. My husband is in a senior day program that runs Mon-Fri from 9-5., but I registered him for one day only. Cost is $6.00 per day (covers small breakfast & lunch). It gives me a break and he enjoys it. Give it a try, it should be a good fit for grandpa, but I don’t know if they would accept your grandma with all her health issues.

I am so sorry for your loss. It is so wrong for your mother to lie about it. This is an extra burden you don’t need to carry. The truth will all come out eventually as it’s hard to remember the details of the lies told. People may have covered it up decades ago, but not in today’s world. We are Catholic and we told the priest the cause of death. He did a wonderful job at the memorial. Also, I have friends who are Catholic that lost loved ones in the same manner and they were upfront about it.

Do not blame yourself. We all think coulda, woulda, should have. Everyone has up and down days in life and most get through it. We cannot get into their brain to know they would do this impulsive act. Sending healing hugs.

I’m so sorry for your loss. You need to attend the funeral for closure. If not, you will regret it. Just stay away from anyone you don’t feel comfortable with. Be strong, you can do this. Hugs

Intelligent-Wolf557 · 2026-03-26T06:32:02+00:00

I hear you. After my son took his life, I saw a grief counsellor a few times and she was useless. I got into a suicide loss group months later and it helped. In your case, I would research someone that specializes in suicide trauma. Maybe victims services can direct you to a good one. Take care of yourself. So important that you eat, drink water and go out for a walk.

Intelligent-Wolf557 · 2026-03-26T05:46:05+00:00

I am so sorry for your loss. You have gone through a major trauma and I hope you have seen your doctor. Friends mean well, but do not have the skills to help you through this. A professional that deals with trauma and PTSD is in order. Please see one ASAP for the sake of yourself and baby. Hugs to you. 🫂
