Total understanding as I go through similar with Mum. She is so agitated and anxious, not knowing where she is even though she's lived there 66 years. Take care xx 😘
Another touching post. I admire your endurance. My mom, before she died, made the comment to me, “you are the last one I would have ever thought to treat me so badly…” during a particularly rough night. It was as stunning as it was “crazy-talk,” because she and I had a very close and loving relationship-.
Thank you for continuing to share your journey. Very tough reading at times, as I am sure that I have this to come with either one or both of my parents. Alzheimer’s is such a wicked disease, no real start and no knowing when it will end…. Sending you a big hug. Xxx

Georgina, you write so well and I feel your pain. It must be absolute hell for you ❤️ I understand as my mum had alzheimers, my dad Parkinson's Dementia. For dad it was very different but he suffered so much before he passed. With mum, however, her Alzheimer's drove us crazy. What you say, with the rounds of constant questioning, makes you feel like you're going mad yourself. After 6 years when things became too dangerous and so tough they went into care. A lovely home 5 mins from me. Even though I wasn't living with mum, it was hard enough just visiting eventually. I feel guilty even saying it, as I loved my mum but we are only human. I've no ides how you're having to deal with the constant madness daily alone. Think about your own mental health. In a carehome there's a team of carers, so no one person is dealing with the constant questions. I used to do colouring with mum, or snake and ladders.. only up the ladders! She'd just throw dice. Made her "happy" Sending big love and hugs
All I can do is offer virtual hugs from across the pond, and an empathy of having lived through this (my mother in law passed in early September). She was the absolute sweetest person you'd ever think to meet.... until late dementia. Her daughter (her full-time caregiver) and hospice nurse were helping her in the bathroom one day, when this amazingly wonderful human blurted "If you break my foot I will kill you." Best wishes to you, Georgina. And another, hard hug: "OOOOOoooof!!!" 💔
All I can do is send support and understanding vibes through comments to posts. We can only pray the hardship eases for both him and you. Thank you for sharing as I always wait in anticipation for your posts. They always help me and guide me🙏
It amazes me how sanely you write .Praying that this difficult time eases soon for you. A very touching post indeed
