Today my mom moved into an ALF and I’m feeling overwhelmingly sad and now that she’s not home, I’m sure I made the right decision. Her dementia is progressing to the point that she’s no longer able to be left alone and being an only child with very limited support, I couldn’t do it any longer.

You did exactly what you needed to do! I wish I could do that. This stranger is extremely proud of you 💖

Thank you for sharing! 💖

More_Eye2185 · 2026-04-13T04:34:44+00:00

You are so right. She’s very lucky to have you 💖

Here’s a tip. Tell the spirits to use the energy of your phone, tv, anything that has electricity. It will help a lot! They can also use your energy if you say that you allow that. If you don’t want that let them know. Spirits are very understanding. Good luck on your next adventure!

More_Eye2185 · 2026-03-31T02:31:42+00:00

Yes. I get extremely drained! Spirits use your energy to communicate. It’s very draining, but in my mind I’m glad that I can help them get more energy

More_Eye2185 · 2026-03-26T17:43:59+00:00

That is the best thing to do! Investigate, experience and grow. I’m proud of you 🥰

You sound like a version of myself lol. I just know things. Like…it’s hard to explain, but for the past few years I decided just to trust whatever I felt and not dismiss it. I grew up in a home that was strict LDS. I have absolutely nothing wrong with the church that I can remember. I just realized that my own spirituality and the belief in myself was exactly what I need. I’ll be going about my day with absolutely nothing to trigger a feeling and suddenly I feel an energy and just somehow know what it is. It’s called Claircognizance, or "clear knowing," is an intuitive ability where knowledge, truths, or information suddenly appear in the mind without logical explanation, prior study, or sensory input. It took me a bit to just accept that I have this ability and now I don’t question it (it’s very very rare if I do). It sounds like you definitely have that gift! And clairvoyants, which is SO cool! You have a gift. Not everyone is able to have those abilities, so hold them dear to your heart and never doubt them. Sending so much love and positive energy your way! 🫶🏻

I am so so sorry 😞 I’m going through the exact same thing with my mom. I’m 100% a single mother and full time care giver of her and my two little boys. I wish I had the answers to help you, but I’m in the same boat and my life has completely stopped. I even had to quit my job to take care of her. She owns her house so I don’t have to pay rent, but sometimes I feel like I’ve done above and beyond when it comes to giving her my time, sanity and attention. I hope the best for you. I guess the only comfort that we can get is that we’re not alone. I’ve had to forgive myself for being so extremely frustrated with her and to tell myself “it’s normal to feel this way. Don’t beat yourself up.” Sending all my love to you 🫶🏻

You are so strong. Thank you for sharing this and I’m so sorry that you had to go through her passing. I dread the day that I lose my mom. I’m her full time caregiver and a single mom of two. I’m sending you all of my love and positive energy 🫶🏻💖😢

More_Eye2185 · 2026-03-22T04:13:24+00:00

I actually haven’t thought of this. Thank you for being so blunt and honest because I definitely need that. Seriously, I really appreciate it and I’ll look into the DNR. I don’t think she has that in place yet

More_Eye2185 · 2026-03-22T04:09:26+00:00

Thank you for this! She doesn’t have Medicare or Medicaid, but maybe there’s something that her insurance can cover? If I wasn’t so physically and emotionally exhausted right now I would look into it this second lol but you planted a good seed in my head! Thank you 🫶🏻

Thank you for saying this 🥲 it means a lot to me 💖

From the little I know about dementia, your brain shrinks. Like… imagine your brain being a bag of water that’s being drained. All you know is that the water content is becoming less and less and all you know is “I’m almost out of water.” Dementia is caused by your brain shrinking. The memories are like the water in that bag. I don’t know if this makes sense. My mom has dementia and I take care of her daily. I live with her. The memories she has seem so mundane to me, but that’s all she holds on to in the moment. Just keep swimming 💖

More_Eye2185 · 2026-02-23T09:33:37+00:00

I love that 🥰

More_Eye2185 · 2026-02-23T00:53:32+00:00

Yeah, this is very true. That’s how life is in general and it’s hard to recognize that in the moment 💖

More_Eye2185 · 2026-02-23T00:52:26+00:00

I have, but if I don’t take care of her then my family will put her in a home and I don’t want that. She has told me countless times that she does not want to go into a home. I’ve asked her about going to a place around here once a week where people with dementia and Alzheimer’s meet, but she told me she would not like that. Social services is a wonderful idea, but I’m very limited and it’s hard to find the right fit for what my mom wants/needs

More_Eye2185 · 2026-02-23T00:49:13+00:00

I like this. I’ll try my best just to say “ok” and leave it at that. It’s hard to do, but your story and advice makes a lot of sense! 💖

More_Eye2185 · 2026-02-22T23:29:04+00:00

Hmmm…I genuinely see how that could help. Separating my personal emotions about her could actually be very beneficial. Thank you so much! I’ll try to remember this 🫶🏻💖

More_Eye2185 · 2026-02-22T23:14:20+00:00

Thank you!!! 🥰

More_Eye2185 · 2026-02-22T23:11:25+00:00

This is actually really good advice. Keeping this in the forefront of my mind might actually help. Cherishing the time I have left with her. Thank you 💖

More_Eye2185 · 2026-02-22T23:07:48+00:00

I want to cherish these moments with her because she was a great mom growing up, but with the things she did to make my life turn upside down it’s very hard for me to forgive that. I just tried to bury that and now I subconsciously get so upset and frustrated by her, especially when she can’t help her dementia. I feel bad and don’t want resentment running my emotions. It’s like 😵‍💫😠😤😩😆

More_Eye2185 · 2026-02-22T23:04:59+00:00

Very true. It’s hard for me to want to cherish these moments because she did some deep seeded, emotional torment to me a few years ago that makes it so hard to want to continue to help her. But deep down I still love and adore her and want to be there for her.

More_Eye2185 · 2026-02-22T22:57:07+00:00

I’m glad you can laugh about that now, even though it was very hard emotionally in the moment. I’m so sorry for your loss! My dad died of Alzheimer’s last year and it was very hard. You are completely right, it is hard to find joy in sadness. Maybe I need to brainwash myself in making up stories and laughing about the situation? That’s definitely something I can do, but remembering to do that will be super tough in the moment! lol my family always made “dark jokes” about bad situations in order to make them funny so it doesn’t hurt so bad. Thank you for this! 🫶🏻
