Mom's dementia.

Hi I know this is good place to postyour thoughts, My Mom has no STM and it’s effected her LTM as well. It’s sad to see how it’s progressing. I have moments when it hits me and I get teary eyed. I feel helpless and all I can do is pray for my Mom. I don’t see my Mom as much as I liked to and always been close to her. It breaks my heart. I tell my Mom she is the best Mom in the world and she says that’s quite a compliment. She tells me imthe best Son in the world. I’m just feeling emotional today. Any kind words or encouragement would be appreciated

Get a 1" 3 ring binder and make her a memory book. Use Word or OpenOffice to post a family pic on a page and type in large letters below each pic who they are. Use at least one page per family unit. Include pets and places.

You are grieving because you are watching your mother decline , that is normal .

Be thankful that you are having nice conversations with Mom . Some patients with this disease are tormented with hateful thoughts and paranoia which is difficult for their adult children to deal with as well .

You could also join an in person support group near you .
