{UAH} DEMENTIA

Someone once said when you love someone with dementia you lose them twice, once when they are diagnosed and then when they die This is called "Ambiguous Loss."

'Rapidly shrinking brain' is how doctors described it. I wouldn't wish Dementia on anyone. As the patient's brain slowly dies, they change physically and eventually forget who their loved ones are. Patients can eventually become bedridden, unable to move and unable to eat or drink.

There will be people who will scroll by this message because dementia has not touched them. They may not know what it's like to have a loved one who has fought or is fighting a battle against Dementia

In an effort to raise awareness of this cruel disease, I would appreciate it if my friends could put this on your page for today.

Hold your finger anywhere on the message to copy and paste to your Timeline.

Thank you

For all those that have had friends or family members who have suffered

I call it the long goodbye. We lose our loved ones (and they lose us in their minds) long before they pass away. I would say enjoy every minute you can...things change so quickly!
