In reply to My Grandma has severe dementia since a few months., posted by Lamdage22 on November 21, 2017, at 11:12:30
my grandmother developed dementia severely in her older years, she passed away at 87, i started noticing it when i was younger, it was night and i was staying the night at her house, she was laying in the other bed (there were 2 beds in the room) and i just started asking her questions about her life, like the past, who was her best friends, and fun times, she got me confused with her son for a couple minutes, and also she started going back in time, but she always had a loving personality even when dementia took it big toll at the end years.....
but the doctors used Aricept, it didnt really seem to work because her dementia was getting very bad, nothing could of stopped what was happening, only intense brain excersis of memorry recall, and trying to get her to be self-aware at the time
im very sorry to hear....i know how it feels, it happened to me, she lived with us in the house at the very end years
everything can change like that, and all these years go by so fast, but nothing lasts forever
