@micks_dementia: I often share the lighter side of Dad’s dementia, because those moments still exist. But this, for me, wasn’t one of them. Some visits are just hard. The inappropriate comments, the personality changes… It was one of those visits where I left feeling relieved it was over. And as guilty as I feel admitting it, that’s exactly how I felt. Dementia changes so much more than memory. 💙 #dementia #dementiaawareness #vasculardementia #dementiajourney
Hi! I am a nurse from Sweden and I have been working with patients with dementia and I have a tip for when it’s hard in the conversations. Begin to sing a song he loves or like in this video when he say ” yeah yeah” you can sing ” She loves you yeah yeah yeah”. Try it when it’s overwhelming- I hope it can help a bit! Love to you all! / Michelle

my nan had dementia I helped care for her for 18 months before she went in a home. it was hard. sometimes funny but very rewarding... she would have been horrified at some of the stuff she used to come out with. ots the most heartbreaking disease x

its only me :
what is the best way to deal with it when a person with dementia is making inappropriate comments/ being rude ? I presume our natural instinct is to correct them like we would a child, does that work in the moment and is forgotten a few minutes later or are you effectively wasting your time they are unable to comprehend what's going on?

You should definitely not feel guilty at all. Yes it’s not your dad’s fault it’s the disease but you are still allowed to say enough is enough on some days!

I will say, it’s best to let the grandchildren know early on that what dad says isn’t the real him, xxx
