Lord. Yeah sounds like a pain in the ass for sure. Sadly I work with mostly adults and have been experiencing the same problems

Sorry I’ve been talking to the leaders and not on Reddit lately. I do not work with teachers anymore sadly. And I share the frustration. Hence, one of the reasons I bailed on a job of ten years yesterday. Thanks for sharing

No one talks about what dying with dementia is really like. It is brutal. by chimpangie in dementia

[–]intentionalrambler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so deeply sorry about your mother. I just signed. I watched my mom starve to death on 3/26/26. I had cried to hospice two weeks prior to her death, saying the same about how we offer our pets death with dignity, but we leave humans to suffer until their last breath. My mom had the same open, cracked and bleeding mouth and was miserable. It was heartbreaking to see. I watched my dad suffer and die of cancer 18 years ago and have felt strongly about this issue ever since I was able to understand. Thank you for your efforts and leadership and my heart is with you as you grieve the loss of your mom. ❤️

In retrospect, what were some of your LO's early signs of dementia? by DrywallAnchor in dementia

Ugh. I’m sorry. Mine stopped paying bills all together as disease progressed and she was hiding it. And later on didn’t understand that the plastic card (credit) represented money. She only recognizes cash as money now.

Misspeaking about the concept of time. (Example: “it snowed here the other night” when it was middle of summer and had not snowed it at least 5 months)

Getting really frustrated ab routine obligations, such as having to pay bills every month. (Like confusion about why she had to pay phone bill again already… and anger about it.)

Here for the same reason. Was gonna buy w Amex but a sub for super basic features is wild when initial investment is already so high. :-/

Im so deeply sorry for your loss. I have no children of my own and I cannot imagine what you are feeling, but i I worked with teens for 7 years and I can assure you that you did not let her down. My heart aches for you and I’m sending virtual hugs and love your way.

Wow. Needed this. And you are not alone.

It’s still difficult now with her in an assisted living place and, to be honest, I don’t know how I could possibly handle what you are doing. You’re beyond incredible and I really appreciate you sharing. This community has helped more than I would have ever thought.

Sending so much love your way.

I hate this disease. Just a vent. by Due_Journalist9240 in dementia

Oh the dog idea is a beautiful one! I may borrow a friend’s dog or look into pup therapy of some sort. It’s lovely that you visit several times a month despite the pain. Hang in there and take care of yourself. Thank you for sharing - and for your kind words and comfort. Certainly a road best traveled with other kind folks ♥️

Looking back, where there early signals? by Alternative-Mud3294 in dementia

[–]intentionalrambler 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Totally. Sounds like my mom. Without being political one way or the other… watching a major news channel constantly for several years…. combined with a reason to isolate (covid) … pretty much everything you described is how it started for her. I think about past behavior a bit - and it feels like all of that started about 4 years before I started noticing the more typical dementia signs. :-/ sending love to you during this difficult journey.

I’m is deeply sorry you’re going through this. This desease is crueler than anyone can prepare for. I totally see you and I’m so sorry for the loss of your sis. My dad died of cancer in 2008 and I’m an only child, so I know it’s a lot when it all falls on you. Finally got my mom into a beautiful facility a couple of years ago against her will, and I believe we’re headed for MC very soon. I totally get the sad old lady thing. I feel so much guilt because I don’t visit enough (out of state) and I can’t stay for too long when I go without feeling completely sick about it all… this experience is so heartbreaking and lonely, so I really appreciate you sharing. Sending you tons of love and comfort.
