My mum had Alzheimer’s and when she died two spiritual leaders named it “One last look around.” Isn’t that lovely?

Thank you for the explanation. My father had dementia. In the last few hours of dad's life my mom, my child and myself were able to witness his lucidity for a few precious moments. I felt like it was a miracle. Dad's last gift to us. I was able take a very special picture of dad and my little one sharing a cheek kiss. I could never understand what was occuring at that time. Thank you for the explanation. I hope more families can experience or understand this beautiful goodbye with their loved ones.

My .other passed at 97 and she was healthy up till her last illness. However she was profoundly deaf and even with her hearing aids we had to yell for her to hear. My granddaughter and I were talking at her bedside about my son who did his Master's in Scotland and a bit about Christmas dinner in quite hushed tones as you do in a hospital. My mom woke up and asked me if we were going to Scotland for Chritmas. She didn't have her hearing aids in and there was no way she should have been able to hear us. But she did. There is really no explanation for it.

I experienced this with my mom. While she was actively dying in hospital she called me by a nickname she gave me that she hadn’t used in a long time

My grandmother had Alzheimer’s. She had 13 children and 34 grandchildren, me being 29/34. I visited her a few days before she passed, she hadn’t recognized me in a long while. But that day she looked at me and said you’re Sue(my mothers name)’s daughter right? She didn’t know my name but knew which of her children’s child I was. I hang on to that memory and moment to this day

This scared me, as a woman who constantly has to remind her husband to take his medication, etc i can see myself on my deathbed worrying how will my husband manage. 😳

A beautiful story. Sorry for your losses, Brian. In response, I had some beautiful hours with my father. It makes me smile. The dementia faded just for a short while. Then he left. How do we explain? I choose to just be grateful in the mystery.

My sister had dementia and didn’t recognize me. She had a big stroke and wasn’t able to open both eyes but the last time I saw her, the day before she died, I know that she did recognize me.

Thank you for sharing this, my sister and I have decided to no longer tell our mom sad things like people we've lost etc. We live in the moment with our now mom.

What a beautiful story! My Mother is in early stages. We also suspect my Father has some form of dementia. I feel the slow loss and this makes me reconsider how we will handle both of them going forward. We believe there needs to be a lot more research which is why my Mother agreed to be in a clinical trial at Baycrest. Thank you for posting this. ❤️

Thank you Dr Brian! Thanks for making me cry! But that’s ok too. We went through this recently with my mom. She had dementia/Alzheimer’s and had to be moved to retirement home very close to me. She deteriorated over time. I would come to her @ least 4 days a week and tried to do normal things with her, walks, going to activities at the home etc. She had a lot of falls, and CHF, and eventually had to move her to LTC. Then she stopped doing most normal activities, got lost, and had a fall and fractured her hip. I had to make the decision to have the surgery or mom would have lived in terrible pain. Like you, I had to make the decision to go on Comfort Care. Mom did go back to LTC, but she really didn’t eat, stopped communicating. Her lovely PSW Kayla treated mom as her own, couldn’t have asked for better. One day I got the call to come back in. There was no turning back. My daughter flew in overnight from Victoria and mom had been mostly sleeping, maybe listening, and restless, so restless. But she opened her eyes when my Kristen came in, she smiled and opened her arms for a hug. Kristen looked to me as if to say I thought you said gramma was dying… I know mom understood what was happening. She returned to more sleeping than awake, but she would perk up for small moments. My kids were there constantly. My son sat and played quiet guitar beside her. We had some lovely visits with family. And then when it became quiet, just me, my son and daughter there, quietly watching, touching mom, holding her hand, and I’m sure she could finally let go. It was a tough week, but it is now such a lovely memory,if I can say that. Thanks for pointing this out to us. It happens. And yes, mom was there, even when she was not. ❤️🥲
