Dad with dementia doesn't remember daughter but still feels the love
"There are feelings. I know this girl, this lady, she is important to me in life." This father with dementia doesn't remember being a dad - but the love he feels for his daughter hasn't faded at all.

Scary if you think about. People usually call me more logical person than feeling one and it's horrible to see that logic does nothing. You just can't beat memory loss. Of course you can place those stickers everywhere to tell you "hey your name is [..] and you are a dad to [..]! You have dementia!" But these are all alien sources of info for you. Just like in this video all that she says is alien info for her dad. Maybe he WISH to remember, to truly believe what she says but no, it's not that. Imagine yourself now. You wake up one morning and some person in your house tells you "good mornin' mom/dad (depends on your gender, right)" Your first thought would be "who are you and how did you get into my house??" Reaction ofc depends on your memory loss. But any sticker you will read this day, any kind words you'll hear they all will be unnatural for you. Implement logic all you want, draw connections, discover things you own, named jewelry, family photos...it all will be in vain. I think people with such diseases constantly feel out of place. Always like they are new in their own family. Sorry if my english is bad and you misunderstood something.

Early onset dementia can progress really fast. I had a neighbor around 55 years old who was a brilliant engineer with several patents to his name. I met when I moved into my house. He said excuse me if I seem a little off, I have dementia. Within a year he didn’t recognize anyone (including his wife) and became angry and difficult to manage. He died a short while after. It was so sad.

My mum died last year from end stage dementia . All her memories were gone. I reminded her every day that she was my mother and I was her son and that I loved her very much. At the time of her death I held her hand and said I love you for the last time. She could no longer speak but she looked at me and smiled as she squeezed my hand then left this world. I believe in that moment for however brief a time she remembered me and the love she had for me.

The same thing happened to me my father died last year. My family and me sat next to his deathbed and in the very last days, he only moved his eyes from right to left recognising us. He could not speak anymore since his strokes. The only thing I remember is that right before his last minutes, his eyes moved more quickly looking at us, while tears came out of his eyes. I’m very happy that I could share his last moments with my family together, but it tears me apart if I think of it. I often think of him and wish that he would be here, but at the same time, his pain was relieved and now he is in a better place. ❤

It didn't seem like a great way to handle the situation when their memories were faltering.

It's not a small change at all. It may seem small as someone on the outside looking in, but I know that his daughter is in great, indescribable pain. She no longer has the choice of calling her dad; dad. It's a first name basis now. Which I know hurts, because my grandma suffers from severe dementia and if people call her mom or grandma she gets very, very upset. So I had to learn to call her by her first name for her comfort. I no longer understand her when she makes conversation, because there is no longer any structure in her speech. Her sentences blend together much like her view of the world has. "I tell you that man in my life and the wall are like chickens!! I don't know what I'm going to do with them, they ---- uh and pretty girl I had to tell her she was a disgrace and shameful" Is an example. Seems like it, but I'm not projecting. I just feel bad for this girl. They say dementia is eternal youth for the patient, but a curse to those around them who love them.

My mom has dementia and has a lot of trouble if I refer to my dad as "Dad" to her, because she thinks I mean her dad (who is still alive at 90 and she gets super excited thinking he's come to visit ❤). So I've started referring to my dad by his name when talking to her. It feels odd but it avoids confusing her so it's worth it.

YES. This person gets it. Thank you for saying this. Stop thinking we are blanks. My mother asked me to visit her friend from years before who had "dementia" and was put in a nursing home when her husband died. I brought her a small plant and sat with her, told her memories my Mom had of her friend helping her with first child during war. She was so happy. I didn't know she hadn't spoken in a couple years. I told her daughters at the husband's funeral and they looked at me like I was nuts. The woman died the next day. Dangerous to our lives to believe we have no thoughts or memories.
This video is so wholesome. The daughter was willing to meet her father on a level he could relate to. God bless the dad who was worried about hurting the daughter's feelings. She said all of the right things and dad was able to convey his love for his daughter. Dementia takes away so much from a person. They become a shell of the person they once were. I am glad daughter has this moment on video. She can look to it as things progress and know that she was always daddy's little girl

Being sensitive gets a really bad rap because people typically only focus on the fact that sensitive people feel hurt deeply and easily but it also means that they feel love and all the other emotions deeply as well and are usually fine tuned to picking up energy that others give off and they can be very empathic. Being sensitive is not always "bad"

Watching this hurts me beyond belief as my great grandmother got dementia around 2015 or 2014 I think. Yet, despite that, she always remembered one thing, and one thing only. She...only remembered.....me. I was the **only** person she remembered. She forgot my great grandpa, my parents, my grandparents, everyone. Everyone...except for me. She...even went as far as calling me her son. And...when she passed in 2016, I was completely devastated. My family knew I was special to her, so they let me carry her urn to the box she was placed in. And to this day, I still miss her greatly. And I long for the day when I can see her again when my time on this earth inevitably comes to an end in the distant future.
