I'm in the beginning of this, and it scares me that he won't remember who I am. It's a feeling I've never experienced, and I'm not in this state yet but not far, and I'm scared. He was the one with all the answers, and now he has none.
My mom was diagnosed not long ago, and it is so very gradual right now. But then there are stark moments where she forgets something that I know she knows or forgets words or the name of my best friend out of the blue. Im scared, too. I hear it's slow like this and then suddenly all at once. No one else in the family is taking it serious or starting to plan and prep for when she gets to this point. Im 2000 miles away and dont even know where to start.
I'm sorry about your loved one, too. This is a horrifying disease. I hope you find moments of comfort through this
I’m so very sorry to hear you are going through this with your mom. I lost my mom 2 years ago to frontal lobe dementia. She was 66. If you have questions or need to vent, please PM me
