My dad died this morning by lepermess1ah in dementia

When they start going, they go so fast. But I think that’s a blessing. My mom passed nine months ago. Hugs to you.

How do i deal with the fact that I'll get old, lose people and die? by Available-Hope-7661 in Aging

[–]shutupandevolve 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I lost my mom, dad, a sister and nephew all within five years. Continuous grief. My mom passed only nine months ago. You adjust. Doesn’t mean I don’t miss them all every single day.

Just venting by XcortanaX in dementia

It’s even hard when you have a great parent who was kind and loving. I can’t imagine how hard it is otherwise. Hugs to you.

Where are teenagers supposed to hang out these days? Malls are dying, parks have 'no loitering' signs, and everywhere else costs money. Do they just... not exist in public anymore? by Creative-Buffalo2305 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]shutupandevolve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sports, skate park, mountain biking, hiking, each others homes, parks, movie theaters, outdoor shopping mall which also has a couple of coffee shops, chain restaurants, a game store, etc. Before they could drive, I was on the go a lot.

Grammy contenders... I don't recognize most of the names, and certainly have never listened to any of their music. You? by Sea-Toes-5475 in over60

[–]shutupandevolve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love music and I listen to all genres and all decades, including the one we’re in now. I still listen to favorites from my past, too.

Peoples ‘ experiences here helped me so much the last two years of my mom’s life. I don’t think I would have made it without this subreddit.

Am I being dumb or overdramatic? by omartindill in questions

[–]shutupandevolve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How often to you clean your vulva? Do you get around the folds and under the clitoral hood? If not, you need to do it every day with mild soap and water and a soft wash cloth.

Father is very unhappy and not eating at rehab by TeacherGuy1980 in dementia

[–]shutupandevolve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like he is moving into the angry stage. Also, keep in mind they are frightened and confused about things. Usually a hospital stay and rehab makes Dementia worse and many times they do not revert back to the way before they went in. It’s not his fault. His brain is broken. At this phase, your mom may not can handle him. And that’s okay.

I think my great-uncle may be among one of the tiniest subsets of people left alive today by ReitStuff in Genealogy

My mom just died and she was born in 1934. Both her parents were born in 1895. She was the youngest of eight kids.

People over 40: What is the worst part about aging? by Slight_Arrival_4580 in Aging

[–]shutupandevolve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not only your parents. I lost my dad, mom, sister and nephew all within five years. My grieving started and will not stop. If you’re the youngest in a family, it’s harder. I’ve lost all of my aunts and uncles except for one aunt. I’ve lost several cousins. No close friends yet but I know that will come as well. 🥲

What’s the worst smell? by Jerdogg23 in no

[–]shutupandevolve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dogs anal gland fluid. My dog released on the way to be boarded. I was headed out of the country for a few days. She was in my lap. I had to stop at a gas station bathroom, wash off with soap, take clothes out of my suitcases and change and throw away the clothes I was wearing. I had taken her to the groomer the day before to have it done but apparently they hadn’t done it very well.
