Dementia: Said goodbye...

[Habibi]

When someone has dementia and the more you see them, the less the person is the one you once knew.
Hard to sustain clinical separation from emotions.
Anyone else been in this boat?

This thread really has got me. I am sat here again in tears - thankfully working from home. I miss going to the match with my Dad & I miss my Mum & her baking. Both still alive thankfully but they don’t know who I am. . I miss my father in laws sharp wit & my mother in law’s compassion both sadly passed. . All affected by this terrible disease. But what really does help is the kindness & compassion of other posters sharing their experiences. Thank you all x
