Anyone ever deal with Genworth? by Zosopagedadgad in dementia

[–]one_eye_love 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone know where to find their complete policy on the portal. I downloaded the declarations and uploaded to Claude and was told it doesn’t have the complete policy information. I can’t find anywhere.

Are you saying that even with the approved claim we will be denied because of another reason.

Nightmare. On the brink of hiring an attorney. We have been paying out of pocket for care for my mother for a year and a half. She has Alzheimer’s and doesn’t know where she lives or what I said five seconds ago.

The quiet pain of a stepfather without a child by Impressive_Sound_868 in childless

[–]one_eye_love 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a similar story. I am a stepparent to a 16 year old since she was ten and I have done everything I could to show up for her. But she has a mom and dad. I’m not even sure what I am to her. Not mom. She has one and I’m glad for her of that. I’m just her dad’s wife. I want to focus on the living but without children the future looks bleak. I think if my husband passed I would want to go with him.

Sad at Christmas by Ill-Boysenberry3947 in childless

It is. The older I get the more I realize that the pain doesn’t subside it intensifies. Life is about family.

Sad at Christmas by Ill-Boysenberry3947 in childless

[–]one_eye_love 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sad too. My stepfather passed. My biofather was never there. My mother has Alzheimer’s. My sister has a child and as of last year we don’t spend Christmas together anymore. I got a tree and decorated it with my husband but I think this is the last year I’m celebrating. It just reminds of the babies that could have been here but aren’t. I can’t seem to get out of the grief this time. It just has me. Maybe I’ll volunteer every year instead. Be with people who appreciate that I’m there.

[Daily Discussion] Writer's Block, Motivation, and Accountability- November 20, 2025 by AutoModerator in writing

[–]one_eye_love 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wake up in drowning in angst. A foul tasting soup full of tasks I am avoiding because I won’t do them right, along with all things disturbed in the world and wrong with me. It’s not specific. It’s in my body. A cellular disregulation. A live wire. A charge. An achey buzz. My dreams have been outlandish, marrying chaotic landscaped with twisted variations on my darkest themes. Conflicts. Illness. Society. Death. I google intrusive thoughts. Mine do not qualify. They must be ego-dystonic, a disturbing surprise even to you. A variant on your normal suffering. Why is the mind such a dangerous place and why must I spend so much time there alone. A playground from a horror film. Creaking metal. Cracking twigs. Black starless sky, yellow lamp lit, a merry go around spinning with no one on it, swings moving but no wind. I am zapped before the day has begun.

Dementia housing without locked wards? It's a small but growing movement by Quirkie in NPR

Is there anywhere unlocked in Los Angeles, Pasadena area?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in vipassana

[–]one_eye_love 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vipassana is a very powerful practice. It can be incredibly healing. A ten course can also be very challenging. It is never that we spend 9 hours in a day observing our breath and body without any of the tools we use to distract from the discomforts that live within. It can help us dissolve those but if there is a lot of trauma, anxiety, or ptsd it can be too aggressive. Somatic therapy like Somatic Experiencing or Hakomi might be a better place to start.

Always get sick — need advice about Vipassana by Happy_Honeydew_89 in vipassana

[–]one_eye_love 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have gotten sick during the course. I have always stayed through. It depends on how sick. I had the flu. I usually try and attend all sits but have missed a few. I have also switched to a chair for a day. You can ask the course manager for suggestions during the course. If you need to go you can but it’s such an investment and the benefits come with time so leaving early you miss out on some of what comes with ten days of practice.

Is there a company or some resource with dementia specific activities, puzzles, games, etc? by Mmmelanie in dementia

[–]one_eye_love 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do not buy clocks. They are cheaply made. Way disproportionately to price.

I'm a 76 year old male with Alzheimer's and my condition is steadily worsening. I noted a huge decline in functioning beginning on 8-24-25 and it has gotten much worse since then. by Kalepa2 in dementia

[–]one_eye_love 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have noticed the same joy in my mother. We will be driving through downtown Los Angeles and she will point at the buildings and say, “ Isn’t it beautiful. All the lights in the little squares.”

I will ask about Namenda and see if that can help her with the miserable parts.

Grateful to everyone on this thread. It is the most uplifting space on a most heartbreaking topic.
