I say this with nothing but love, respect and admiration. One things I wish I had done when caring for my grandparents with dementia was stop pushing them to "keep what skills they had". I put so much pressure on encouraging them to get up when they wanted to stay in bed, trying to force them to eat when they refused. I wish I would have been more accepting of the bodys way of shutting down and let go of the guilt I felt to keep them going. I would have focused more on their comfort than what I felt like I could be doing ❤️We love you Granny

Let her sleep. She’s at end of life. Making her body do something other than what ifs supposed to at this stage is cruel. I wish I would have let go sooner than I did. I regret it deeply.

Today, this morning, then again at noon was the last day I tried, or ever will again try to coax my Aunt out bed. She said in her clearest non dementia voice, I'm tired, just so tired, do I have to? No Mam, you do not. She's 96, she will be so missed but it's time to say goodbye.

Do you think her quality of life is better forcing her to be awake and walking or keeping her calm and comfortable with medication? I know which I would want for myself, and I chose the same for my grandparents

Just give her meds and let her body do what it needs to do. Don't push her.

is hospice involved? they can help you through this. I pray for yaa that when she's on her last bed, usually hospital in home bed. that God gives her clarity to say what she can't say now. other than heavy. my Daddy told me he loved me and was proud of me id never in my life heard either come out of his mouth till then. 91 with dementia

I just lost my 84 year old dad in August. I say as much meds as it takes. My dad was on hospice and had dementia for the last 9 months of his life. He would have hated every moment of his last months if he was of sound mind. 🙏

I'm glad you got an electric bed. they are so convenient. Sometimes even a quarter of a grain/ gram can make a difference in the med strength.

May I ask would the medication take a little adjusting to for her perhaps or have you been doing that .. lastly could a walker be more stable for her to use and safer for the her helper . So sorry I know her name I’m just drawing a blank 🙈

I'm a caregiver and I make sure that all my patients whether their Dementia or not use a Walker. or I will teach them the liability of a patient grabbing you pulling on you and leaning on you is more of risk
