My father had early onset dementia at 52. He passed 4 years later at 56. Easily the worst 4 years of my life.

Coming from a nurse from long term care, we care… or at least I do ❤️it’s the worst. But when they have good moments, they are the best.

Like many commenters I work in a long term care home which serves mostly dementia patients. You’re a great daughter. It’s rare that families stay😞
