This is what the vax does, folks.

WHY IS THIS NOT VIRAL YET

My grandma has dementia and keeps asking about her older sister who died almost 20 years ago. It hurts to hear...she always needs to be reminded what day it is, sometimes can't tell who's who, or remember what she did a few hours ago. But she still has her late sister's phone number memorized. I take care of her once a week and it feels so weird because it's like our roles have reversed. I make her the same food she used to make me as a kid but she doesn't know how to make it anymore. I try to spend as much time with her as I can but watching what's happening to her is hard. At least once a day she'll start crying because she suddenly remembers that grandpa died but then an hour later she'll be in a cheery mood. Sometimes she switches between English and Portuguese because she can't remember who she's talking to. She keeps saying that God is punishing her for her "sins" and I'm like "what sins? You haven't done anything wrong" but she still thinks she deserved this somehow. I really hope I don't get dementia because it's heartbreaking enough from the outside, I can't imagine the mental torment she's going through and I don't want that to happen to me. Sorry for the venting, I just needed to get it out there

Des' I too am young with Lewy Body my symptoms started at 57 with forgetting now it's bouts of strong anxiety and sleeping. I will be 60 in the fall. I look forward to the day when all is new I believe in God's word the Bible and it's promises Revelation 21:3,4 Psalms 37: 11,29

I feel like what makes this so impactful is how much more terrifying it would be for this to happen in a middle age setting. Imagine someone getting dementia in an era where there were no doctors, hospitals, advances in science, therapists, or anyone with the qualities or experience to properly diagnose what was wrong with them. They would just be deemed insane, cursed, or some sort of unholy being and be sentenced to prison / death. Yet the princess was courageous enough to stay by his side for the rest of their lives regardless of the heartbreak it brought both of them. We've all seen psa's before but this helps to recontextualizes the situation in a way that leaves you completely heartbroken and left thinking about what you just witnessed. It's truly better than like 95% of the slop Hollywood has made in the last 10 years.

dementia is a horrible thing i had this neighbour he was so generous and kind he would always give me money when it came to my birthday or christmas or whenever i met him really. He lived through ww2 and it hurt me when he would say how he would go to school sometimes and his friends wouldnt be there, he was bright aswell he knew lots of things from the past even though he was almost 90 years old and had a lot of knowledge about everything really. His wife fell over once and because of his dementia he wasn't able to help her as i dont think he even recognised who she was so my dad had to help her up again. Then he started having carers round to check up on him until he was asleep and then one day we never saw him again, his car was gone not on his driveway anymore and we heard him and his wife were staying at a care home that was 3 years ago now and we havent heard anything since..

Me too

God bless you sir.

Lewy Body dementia is no joke. It is awful to see and hear about. Nature reigns supreme in the end, it doesn't care about what people were or what they had. Just does it's thing. Best wishes to Des and his loved ones.

My grandma‘s brother died from it at 27

Whoever made this should get a raise.

The background music is rather annoying.

The pain

This is so slimmer to my parents but with my dad in hospital it’s hard with about 11 phone calls a day asking where he is

Underrated

My husband first experienced confusion and loss of memory in May of 2012 while undergoing rehab for alcoholism. Being home seemed to help him until 2017 when he gradually began experiencing Alzheimer’s symptoms. He had four to five hours a day where he wanted to get a "greyhound" to "go home." Also, he thinks I am his sister and believes he has rented a car (he hasn't driven in 5 years). His personal hygiene was in the tank, it was necessary for him to change two to three times a day. Without long-term insurance for his care, it was becoming stressful to care for him. This year our family friend "Ken" introduced and started him on BRONGEE HERBAL SUPPLEMENTS for Alzheimers and Dementia, 2 months into treatment he improved dramatically. At the end of the full treatment course, the disease is totally gone. No case of Alzheimer’s, hallucination, forgetfulness, and others, he’s strong again and able to go about daily activities.

My mom got diagnosed with young onset at 56 in 2022, this put me in tears. My adoptive great grandmother had it, she woke up every morning crying because she was still alive. Heart breaking.

You had NO RIGHT to make me cry at 11 am 😭😭😭😭😭😭

wait..waht is this?? Who is moving all the items around? A ghost??

She has a lovely kitchen.

This and the Alzheimer Society bus stop advert just shutter your heart to pieces

This is so true, my lovely Dad had this condition, it’s so hard to explain what it’s like - this does it respectfully and honestly - thank you 🙏

As a young teenager playing hockey, Immie was a hero. He then became a team mate and a pal. Lovely fellow. My mother has Alzheimer's. It's cruel. Always think about donating a pound or two please.

Who is narrating this?

I will definitely opt for M.A.I.D. if I ever get diagnosed with this form of dementia. I will not put my friends and loved ones through this absolute nightmare.

Praying to God is useless when it comes to alleviating dementia. God wont help you. 😞

Uh.... SUGAR??????? GLYCATION ????? Eight years later, this is old news, except, of course, that it doesn't help them create a new drug, so, they don't know how to monetize this!

This got me all choked up. I lost two people this way and it was so bleak. Absolutely fantastic short film, really powerful.

Did anyone else realize you're able to change the POV while viewing 😮 Coolest although a sad topic but very cool 😮

As someone who has lived this Fairy Tale, I can say that this is a very fair representation of how it goes. Or at least, how it went for us. After thirty three and a half years of marriage, and forty one years together, it is all but a year since my Prince left this life. And like the Princess in the story i am sat here weeping after watching this. I hope and pray that the ending can be changed for the many who will follow in my footsteps.

Bob, you look awesome. I’m amazed how much energy you have in spite of all the trials and tribulations.

Anita is a beautiful woman, who has grown old gracefully.

This is the most saddest thing I have ever watched 😭😭😭😭

My mom had a stroke exactly one month ago. She is diagnosed with vascular dementia already. This is a women who took pride in everything. Ive got depression, anxiety, insomnia, psoriasis thats taking over my body from stress. I don't know if I'm able to deal with this. We lived together helping each other survive financially as my dad died of cancer when I was 16. All I keep thinking of is taking my own life so our home can be sold and she can be taken care of properly. If I could trade my life to make her comfortable I feel I owe it to her. Im struggling. Its only the beginning and its more bad days than good. I don't have a reason to live anymore. Waking up each day feels pointless.

Joe is a horrible caretaker.

With crisper Alzheimer’s will become a thing of the past

Hope you are doing well brother .. 😊

Screw this horrible disease i lost my dear father to it...allah yerahmek baba la3ziz 🤲🏻...rip

What a super man

He doesn't have it now .. he took the test and found out that he will have it when he hits a age....

What a weird scenario to depict dementia... A mum taking orders from her adult children? Yuck!

I'm sorry but I gotta make the joke Average Joe Biden experience:

Pain. Anguish. Sorrow even.

Imagine you come into a battle with a sword and shield and your opponent is just a chromosomal disease that decimates your memory and your mood

My mom died two years ago somewhat young, age 58, from heart/stress problems. But in the last years of her life I began to suspect she was exhibiting early signs of some sort of memory problem - dementia, Alzheimer’s, something. I’m not sure what, and it never got bad enough to be diagnosed, but I was and am certain she was coming down with something. It was mostly just her forgetting little things like if she already told me some story or conversation. I remember at one point though she did tell me she was starting to forget her time in the Army, and was reliant on my dad for remembering a lot of what happened (they were/are both veterans; that was how they met.) I’ll never know now, but a part of me thinks that her dying when she did saved her from a life of misery if she really was developing one of those diseases.
