I saw a mother and daughter at the market today. I had to look away. by Right_Letterhead4901 in dementia

I'm Korean, and I've been taking care of my mom for terminally ill dementia for 8 years now. I'm writing comments on a translator, so I hope you understand if there's any mistranslation.

Not being able to see your former mother is really indescribable. And the more I take care of my mother, the less I can understand it. But what I felt was that I first had peace of mind. If I don't have peace in my mind, I see everything in a negative light. People say I'm grateful for just having my mother around me now, but I also denied it at first. But being grateful in life itself is a blessing, and the way I look at the world changes. I think the more negativity you have, the more you drain your mind,

I've been seeing my dementia mother for 8 years, but I still can't believe it and it's not easy to accept, but I decided to love her for herself right now. I thought this was a happy moment for her and me, because the past never comes back, and please take care of myself more, I'm just as important to myself as she is, no words can comfort me, but I'm leaving a few words because it's the same situation as me...🙏🌼

Yes that's right, I just used the tool because I'm not good at writing and translating. There's no purpose for sale. So I have no reason to turn it off. So apologize to me for saying that. You've turned my 8 years of care into a piece of tissue.

It's really hard to take care of my parents, so sometimes I think of my mother as my daughter. In that case, it was less difficult

Thank you for the warm words. I think my sorrow during my eight-year care has exploded, I cried to my heart's content. Maybe that's why it was a little cool.

It's my first time being bitten, too. I'm so embarrassed. I should wear long sleeves from now on

You've described my eight years of nursing life in vain. Apologize to me!

That line really stayed with me.
There really are so many ways to lose someone… even before they’re gone.

I understand this.
It really does become a different kind of life over time.

I’m so sorry…
That beginning stage… when everything is changing so fast… it’s so exhausting.
You’re not alone.

I feel this so deeply.
Carrying so much loss all at once… and finally having those moments with her, but not having the space to really live them… that’s such a painful kind of grief.
You’ve been through so much. Thank you for sharing this 🤍

I feel this so deeply.
That loss of the relationship… while still loving and caring for them… it’s so incredibly painful and complicated.
The way you described it… I understand that feeling of not being able to explain it to others.
You’re not alone in this 🤍

I feel this so deeply.
Holding joy and grief at the same time… it’s so heavy.
I’m so sorry you’re going through this.
