This is my life completely. I'm going through the exact same thing with my husband. God bless us both.

Sad, waiting for my batshit mom to become this… she is 68 & has been completely insane her entire life… batshit… good luck tho lady… life is so cruel

Dementia is such a cruel disease. My heart entirely goes out to this woman. ❤

I cared for my dad with dementia for 6 years. It was the most heartbreaking experience of my life. I wish someone would have been told about how aggressive the patients can be. I was kicked, bitten, push down and kicked. That was mid stage. When he got to the late to end stage he punched me in the face breaking out my teeth. It’s been 2 years since dad’s passing, I have trouble functioning due to PTSD. I think the dementia patient and the caregiver should be treated as 1 patient. As a caregiver I never got the time to treat my own health.

this scares the life out of me, people don't realize that what's happening to his mind is terrifying

My wife and I are going through the same thing with her Mom. We lost her Dad three years ago to cancer; he’d been in good health until the diagnosis of his wife’s dementia, the worry, and the constant caregiving finally wore him down just when the pandemic hit. - Strength and Courage, everyone!

Imagine accomplishing your life goals, Done everything you wanted just to forget. Feeling scared and alone even when you're surrounded by loved ones whom you dont recognize. I'm so sorry. ❤

this woman is amazing I was a nurses aide working in nursing homes many years. I understand and I also private sat with people with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia. she is a lovely woman. I pray for her help & emotional comfort. for anyone going through this being a full time caregiver of a loved one be patient be kind consider if this where you? Don't let yourself be forgotten in the same token there are resources and Also remember you need a break as often as possible. make time for you. it's vital to remember the caregivers. ❤️

It's sad to watch this video because it reminds me of my grandmother. I hope the care givers receive the appreciation they deserve for treating the patients with care and attention. I hope there is a cure for such horrible illness.

That gentleman is very lucky to have such a wonderful partner that cares so much. A dreadful disease. My Nana had it. She was a pianist her whole life and was a very independent full of life person. The disease took all of that away slowly.

So my mother calls me yesterday and tells me my father has dementia. Said they took him to the doctor and he failed so that's miserably. It explains a lot that was going on. So I decided to come and get an idea of what we're faced with. This video was very informative and scary at the same time.

is he doing alright?

heartbreaking..I am dealing with my husbands dementia, but Thank God he is still talkative and witty. I cannot leave him alone as he has wandered off.

It’s like he’s been reduced back to a child… this is scary

Its not a fun job when your a care giver, I had to take care of my wife until she died

God bless those that care for them at home

I am so impressed and given more hope from you... that I too can continue to help my mom living with vascular dementia , now in my home

Makes me so sad for the dementia patient and the spouses and family members 😢

I'm sorry but this documentary scares me. I'm so scared of getting this disease

4:20 "The best way to cope is to just make sure that you maintain some kind of daily routine,,,"

I wonder if anyone is watching this after listening to Everywhere at The End of Time - The Caretaker? Its depressing watching this after giving the albums a listen...

I keep thinking about the stages, and the artwork that goes with each stage, and how horrifying it must be to feel yourself slipping away and your memories becoming more and more confused and shredded until they make no sense at all and finally disappear and nothing is left but an empty, howling void. Poor Helmut is obviously in the post awareness stages, but not Stage 6 yet, as he is still able to walk a little and do a few things for himself, like feed himself. If I were to guess, I'd say he's somewhere in Stage 5, since he no longer talks or really seems to even be comprehending much of anything. I'd imagine Stage 4 to be when the person is very confused and agitated and needs help with most things, but can still carry on a simple conversation.

that woman is a straight G man

What an amazing woman ❤️

I lost my dad to dementia, on Saturday. Every phone or video call was hard, seeing my dad a frail old man.

I am so sorry for your loss. My father was just diagnosed with dementia. I saw the deterioration in him the past 2 yrs. Now it's official what was going on slowly. It breaks my heart to see my hero in this condition that I know will only get much worse. I pray you find comfort in knowing that your dad is no longer suffering with this illness. 🙏

We are going through this with my mother now. She was an artist and it’s so difficult to watch this disease destroy her

The fact that there are 2 ads to make money off of this is disgusting. I'm a Care Assistant at a local care home, and I see this regularly as part of my job. I see the pain both the resident and their families go through. The fact that you are trying to make money off of this disgusting.

Thank you. My family is going through this with my elderly mother. It's difficult to see her like this. I emphasize greatly with the wife and daughter.

This woman is a Saint.

if you are a person that in love with honour, dignity and such, this disease is your worst nightmare.....

What an amazing woman!

My Grandad suffers with dementia a little bit at times,He is 93,Soon be going on 94 years old soon,One day he could not even remember who I was,I said im the oldest Granson,He could not even remember me at all,I knew what he was going through,Next time I saw my Grandad,He remembers me,Must be horrible thing to suffer with,Like being lost,A lot worse,Hate to think what its be like getting old,More of common thing in old people,They all cant help it suffering with dementia

Kudos to you.

Be Blessed Martina 🙏🙏🙏

This is heartbreaking to watch 😭

She is a very good and loving wife, God bless her

I think death is better than living in this state, it's like the person that you most love is turning into an animal

Everyone is forgotten in the end.

As a German, it's strange to have my native tongue dubbed over in English rather than German dubbing over English.

When I interviewed for Medicare for 2 months, I talked to few with diamentia. The family said the patient forgot things from yesterday but member things years ago. Like her brain just stopped functioning, forget to eat unless the family takes turn to cook/ feed her . All I could think of is the cycle of life, adult care for aging parents, just like a bag. That short term contract job reminds me of my favorite quote Seize the day, don't take things for granted, just go out and achieve your goal. For me is travel the world 🌎

Noooooooo sorry this is what killed my father 6 years ago .........He was my mother's caregiver ............ My mother is still alive in a nursing home she is In last stage Dementia now 90 years old ....be ware you can easily run yourself into the ground and loose your own life🙏 .

My grandpa has dementia and life isn’t easy for him because can’t rember anything and he’s in a memory care and I’m just really worried about him because he might die soon

Good that her hubby can walk. My hubby is diagnosed with LBD which comes with muscle rigidity on the right arm and leg and need to learn how to balance and walk again. 😭 😭

Does anyone know who made the 70s documentary about a young mans father who slowly deteriorated? I think it was Ross Mc Elwee but I may be wrong

She says, he used to have many friends, where are they now?

🙏🙏🙏

How do you help someone who definitely has it and will not get help, it's getting way to hard on one person.

😢

Many families will face the heartbreak of dementia this Christmas. But no family should have to face this alone. If you agree we urgently need more specialist dementia support, add your name now. Thats what I read on News post on Social media,dementia,Can happen to any one at any time,Mostly far more common in older people who 80+ years or older,Nothing can stop it,We all get this when we get to older age,Hate to think how bad it is,Like being lost and confused,A lot worse that lost and confused,It not their fault they have dementia

Where are the kids ? No help for her or just spending time with their mom

The daughter kind of looks like Jennifer Lawrence.

FIRST

Bredesen protocol!

The long goodbye 😂
