I was 'Mom-sitting' earlier today. As we were watching the happenings on CNN she asked the same question 8 times over the course of an hour. 🥺

It's the most insiduous disease and so cruel for both the person and their loved ones. I'm so sorry you are going through this.

It’s a special kind of hell for both patients and the people who love them, isn’t it? #fuckdementia

Yeah. When my dad died, my mom couldn’t remember it from hour to hour, and to avoid having her constantly relive the devastating grief we had to lie to her that he was away on business or such. They were married 63 years.
