@flaviarivasplata: A vulnerable post ❤️‍🩹 Mentally preparing myself to see my grandparents again after so long As much as I miss them, watching the people you love slowly deteriorate is a heartbreak I don’t think anyone can prepare you for If anyone is going through something similar, I’d really love to hear how you’re coping🤍

Both of my grandmas had dementia and my grandma from my dads side had Alzheimers. They were both in peru and i barely saw them but i did go to peru and saw them both before they passed away. As hard as it is to see them like that, i say you go and spend that time with them because the time spent away from them you cant get back. Its always better to be with them before anything god forbid were to happen.

I get you girl. After joining the military, I’ve tried going every year to Peru and then last year was the year i skipped due to work. Next thing you know, she’s diagnosed with cancer and she was deteriorating super fast. I went as soon as I got the message and tried taking it all in, talking to her, taking pictures, recording her voice and stories. She was a second mother to me and I used to call her every week. And same, I was also the favorite grandchild lol. I’m glad I did all that, because I didn’t know that then next time I would visit would be the following month, she got worse and passed away the next day after my birthday. Grieving has been a up-and-down process, when she was alive and after she passed, still going through it right now. Her memories and pictures are what are helping me with it. I know she knew I loved her and that she loved me, I wish we could’ve had more time. I would always tell to wait for me and she would laugh. By that I meant to wait until my contract ended so I could go back to Peru after my service and continue with my studies virtually over there. I had 2 more years left, and sometimes thinking about makes me sad. But that sadness makes me push forward and pursue my dreams. Because that’s what she would’ve wanted. The process of grieving is never easy and I wouldn’t say I’m an expert, but when I heard you talk about it, i could see myself 7 months ago, going crazy about the idea of losing the most important person in life. Please talk to your family and friends and don’t keep it all in, just know that you’re not alone 🫂🤍

Deberías ir a verlos. Solo Dios te hará valiente. Mi mamá acaba de morir y ha sido lo más difícil que he pasado. Ver a una abuelita enferma es dificil, pero una mamá es otra cosa. Pero hice todo para estar con ella hasta el último segundo. Nunca tendré remordimientos de haber estado con ella. Aunque sea para agarrar su mano. Vale la pena. 🙌🏼

Watch out for the medications that are being given to people with Alzheirmer's. My relative was prescribed medications and one of them turned out to increase risk of mortality in elderly, so his health declined faster. Also, make sure a specialist in Alzheimers and Dementia give the diagnosis because doctors are diagnosing people with senile dementia or just dementia and not finding the specific or correct type of Dementia, and giving strong medications and not giving the correct grade of dementia.

My heart is with you my friend, I did everything I could from the US to keep my grandfather well, safe and comfortable. I visited him every few months to ensure all was well. He passed @104 years old in his sleep in December during covid, flew down to personally bury him🙏🏻. I can relate in every level.

I know how your feeling, lost my grandma 3 weeks ago. I was blessed to be with her, she was battling liver disease due to her diabetes. Go visit, be with them it’s so worth it, I dropped everything my mid twentys , even when they sick, they family. I was able to stay with my grandma to the very end. What I did to feel happy during those years is just being with them, and knowing you help them to the very end. Unfortunately, there going to be an end, which sucks and very sad but being there help cope with this. Trust me this happened to me the last 3 years. The last year my grandma was nonverbal due to organs were failing, and was not remembering me, it’s super sad. Stay strong 🙏🏽 hope this message helps, god bless and prayers to your family.

I’m so sorry. My GMA is the same I haven’t seen her like 3 years or more. I’m scared to see her I would be crying the whole time me seeing her she’s like other mom to be as well. I try not to think about it. The only time I ask about her is with my mom bc she visits her. 😢.

So my grandma went through something similar and she would say things that didn’t make sense but I would just go with it and we’d have the longest conversations. Even if she doesn’t know who you are anymore maybe act like you’re a friend and want to catch up.

Sorry for your pain. Go and visit. Perhaps seeing you and knowing you are there. Don’t wait cause you will regret it. I lost my grandmother when I was 25 and there isnt a day that goes by that I wish I had her next to me even if she was sick.

Use that negativity and sadness as your strength to give you the push u need to spend some time with them , take them out. Shower them, put make up on ur grandma n take them out pay someone to help u . I did that w an uncle that was neglected by a caretaker in Peru n had my uncle in one corner totally abandoned. It destroyed me to see him like that but im glad I went n discovered wha was going on . My uncle die 4-5 month after my visit but im glad i went n spent done time w him

I’m Peruvian as well and I know family means a world to me too. I was lucky my grandma was here in the US and she had dementia. It was so hard because she didn’t recognize me at times but I just tried to be positive and if she didn’t recognize me I pretend I was a stranger and she would smile when she use to see me. Just stay strong for your grandpa because I’m sure he’s feeling it the worst. I will keep you in my prayers you will never be prepare for this is heartbreaking! I took a lot of pictures of my grandma and me and she would love that.🙏❤️😞she passed 3 yrs ago she was 96 🙏

My grandmas health declined the last few years of her life, and I get what you’re saying, it’s VERY hard to watch. When she was put in hospice care, I slept over and was there when she passed away. It’s been 11 years and I still cry, go through my emotions and miss her everyday BUT I feel peace, I know I was there, I know she heard my voice telling her it was okay to leave. I know I did everything I could as a granddaughter. So I say this to say I think you will later on feel so much peace in your life knowing you spent the time with your grandparents no matter how hard it was. Idk if any of that made sense 😅 I wish you the best in navigating through all of this, I know first hand how hard it is.

Trabajo con pacientes en Memorial Care , mi consejo es que deberías ir a verlos y pasar tiempo con ellos , ellos aunque tengan demencia o Alzheimer’s e incluso no puedan comunicarse ellos te sienten y son felices al ver a sus familiares 🙏🏻❤️.
