Along similar lines saw someone close gan downhill over a period of time with Parkinsons. Sounds awful to say but death was a blessing and relief by the end.
 


The scary thing is the age that people can get it, i'm on a couple of Alzheimers/Dementia groups on Facebook and there's people on there who have family in their 30's who have it, i take a bit comfort that my Dad is in his late 70's and has had a pretty full life but it's still so sad to see the person you know 'fading' if that's the right word.

Honest mate there's a picture i could put on here of a lad 38 years old who has frontotemporal dementia and it would break your heart, i'm same as you i thought it was just an age thing but it's not like.

You helped a woman in despair, a kind gesture I'm sure she will have appreciated thoroughly, so good on you. I've seen people lost to dementia, they can get aggressive and be very scary.

Its a shock to the system, hopefully the lass gets her mother the assistance she needs. Sadly if deemed unmanageable at home, the old lady will find herself in a home for her own safety (as leaving the Gas on or water running are hazards obviously, as is anything with fire in it).

My Dad had Parkinson's and his quality of life was awful at the end. We all think he hung on until I'd had my back operation and as soon as I came out of hospital he just let go. It was just after Christmas too but he'd just had enough.
