Everyone with dementia are effected differently. I have wonderful videos and memories with my mother from 1-2 years ago that I cherish and always will. What I am missing, although yes, when I say I love her I believe she hears me and when I touch her she feels my warmth,is that most of a person has disappeared. I appreciate your sharing and I am sorry that you also had to have a parent with Alzheimer's.Alzheimer's My Mom My Herohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06521298907696128213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3463278702289836291.post-89047044585624844382017-11-16T22:32:48.885-05:002017-11-16T22:32:48.885-05:00My experience was/is completely different than you...My experience was/is completely different than yours.

She just can't show it .My mom at 93 is on no meds. Except for macular degeneration and AD she is the "picture of health". Jules I'm so sorry that we walk in a similar path and please know that I am here for you. Sending some strong big hugs.

So, so sad. It is nice though, to find someone going through the same thing that I am. I feel so alone... Mom slowly stopped talking... Slowly stopped smiling... Stage 7 can be so cruel. My mother is a rather healthy person (only takes blood pressure meds and anti-seizure meds because she had one seizure a few months ago), a major stroke 4 years ago, but her brain is deteriorating at a faster rate now. She is 88 this month. It is so very hard and depressing to visit her. No reaction to my cold or warm hands anymore. She just stares straight ahead...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3463278702289836291.post-43773416890623661322017-11-13T08:37:32.597-05:002017-11-13T08:37:32.597-05:00Ruth, knowing that we are on similar journeys unfo...Ruth, knowing that we are on similar journeys unfortunately, I know how much we are aligned with our understanding.

It is you and me that know how much our loved ones have lost, we see them as mere whispers of who they were and our hearts break! You are not going through this alone, we are listening to your sorrowful heart. Sending hope for a smile when she sees you soon!Ruth Altheimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12381837807561910489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3463278702289836291.post-1027120369156995552017-11-12T10:32:01.579-05:002017-11-12T10:32:01.579-05:00Sharon yes it is different but I cannot even imagi...Sharon yes it is different but I cannot even imagine when it is someone’s spouse.
