Love my mom with all of my heart and soul. My mom is a "gamer", she plays the MMO game Perfectworld. She used to play World Of Warcraft but she's not very good at the PVP stuff and her arthritis makes it hard to jump around and stuff. major-mark63, BlackRose, Dot80 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mother is going through Louis body Dementia. Physically she is in great shape mentally not so. Not sure what’s harder. Having a parent in hospice or watching the person they were disappear while still there. Enjoy every minute you can with her.

My grandmother had Dementia for the last 16 years of her life and it was absolutely HORRIBLE. She showed signs of Alzheimer’s back when she was in her early 70s but was diagnosed with Dementia when she was 80 years old. I came to tears literally every time I went to visit her. About 6 years before she passed away she forgot my name and that I was her grandson. I always stayed with Grandma on the weekends and went to church with her and pap every Sunday until I was 14. She was 96 years old when she passed away but I do not ever want to live through something like that again. It was by far the hardest thing to witness as it progressively got worse and worse. bds1961, major-mark63, AbuXI and 1 other 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Even as bad as my grandmother got toward the end, there were brief moments when some deeply suppressed memory came to light and she would get all excited. My grandmother was a bit of a sassy red head, (being an O'brien from Ireland that is to be expected lol) but she was the kindest and most caring person that I have ever known.
