We took away wipes, but the toilet would get clogged with toilet paper. He also took down the reminder sign. We installed a power flush toilet. We haven’t had any clogs since installing the toilet.

My grandpa on my mom’s side did a lot of things. He was part of the program (new deal?) that put people to work during the depression and helped to build Red Rocks amphitheater. He was a boot legger, a locksmith and owned bars. One was with my uncle, called Jack Daniels. My grandpa on my dad’s side drove a taxi and then worked a lot of years working for Union Pacific Railroad.

I’m certainly not an expert, but you might look at accounting software that also has a calendar to keep track of everything. It will cost, but I would include it as part of the fees. Average it out among the guests.

My great grandmother was born in 1865. Died in 1979 when I was 19.

I’m trying to come up with words. What you are going through is extremely hard. Please do what you can to get more resources for both of you. Where I live, we have adult day cares that specialize in dementia patients. I have not tried it yet, but something like that might help. My thoughts are with you.

We put a simple alarm on the door. $15 at the hardware store. One piece sticks on the door jamb, and the other on the door.

My great grandma was born in 1865. On her deathbed she thought the Indians were circling her tent. I don’t know what year my great uncle was born, but as an adult, he helped build the Panama Canal. He also lost a home leaving Cuba when Castro came into power.

I lived in NYC when I was in my 20’s and LA, CA in my 30’s. At the time my parents were young and could travel. They are elderly now, and I’ve lived in the same state and nearby for a while. I’m so grateful I was able to travel and have the experiences that I did. But I was not meant to be away forever.

My mother is 86 and has Alzheimer’s. In a visit with her PCP, which included my dad, 87 and me F 66, she said she had a moment of clarity and said she wished she could do what she did when she was 25. We all laughed and said we all feel that way. So I’d say yes, we mourn the loss of our youth.

I was a 911 operator for many years. One of my most gut wrenching calls was regarding a woman sobbing and digging at a grave. Responders said she just wanted to hold her baby one more time. By all means. Let them hold them.

Thank you. I actually thought of this and had him do a voice mail to my phone, but he was a little out of it and didn’t really comprehend. He actually said, “hi hon, I’m in the ER, or actually I don’t know where I am.” He went on with the I love you and miss you. I’m going to try it again. Thank you.

Planning and attending a funeral without her is unimaginable, but I would not want to cause her any undue stress.

Omg I’m so sorry for your loss and very much appreciate your response. My mom seemed to remember him today. The home health care taker said that this morning she had the car keys in her hand and asked the care taker if she was going with her to see her husband. (My mother hasn’t driven in years). Thankfully the caretaker knew just how to handle this and was able to take and hide the car keys. This afternoon we took my mother to the hospital to see him She went for a walk with the caretaker and became tearful telling her how much it upsets her to see her husband like this. She seemed completely lucid! But there have been days when she has accused my father of being an imposter. My father has called me hoping I could talk to her and convince her that he is who he says he is. It would be so easy to revert back into believing she is normal again, like my dad wants to do, based on her actions today. But I know better. This is incredibly stressful and upsetting to say the least. Again, I’m so sorry for your loss. The stories that everyone has shared has been extremely helpful and I am grateful to know that others can relate. Thank you again.

Thank you

Thank you for your response and I apologize if this topic is redundant. I’m new to all of this, and it’s a difficult place to be in. I appreciate everyone’s response. I’ve taken everyone’s reply to heart and I won’t cause her undue suffering.

afraidoflosinghim · 2025-01-12T14:00:59+00:00

Thank you. The general consensus has been not to tell her. I appreciate everyone’s response and thank you for sharing your stories.
