  • Im sorry your mum passed away Im sure she was so proud of you in life, you sound like you worked so hard to help her! I have great respect for you, theres nothing I can really say ( i know im in the same position)...take care of yourself xx

    My father is 54 and has had Alzheimers for 3years...im 22

  • So sorry to hear of your loss. I lost my Dad last year and it was so hard. You are right we do lose them twice. Thank you for sharing your story. People need to know the seriousness of this disease. Caregiving is so hard emotionally and physically. I also helped care for my Dad at home. You are a great daughter. <3

  • R.I.P.

  • Dojie Allen Passed away April 24th 2010... Rest in peace grandma :(

  • Memory Programs is a new activities program for seniors. Observations where the programs have been used have shown more engagement, less wandering, less depression, less violence, and more positive work environments with individuals suffering from dementia .

  • Thank you all for your kind words... Dojie is in a nursing home in Palm Springs and has progressed quite a bit in the disease :( Things are hard... Life is so precious... it's horrible to loose someone twice! Hopefully with research this disease will one day be cured!

  • thank you for posting,,,i just lost my wife of 48 yrs to this horrible disease, 09/13/2009. we have 22 grand , 14 great grand, we as care givers need a support groupe, to share how the others are doing and even the different stages they are going thru. but i visit my baby every night on you tube, she had a good day , so if you are having a bad one.. this video will make you smile and laugh out loud. enjoy

  • Its humane to put an animal down when their quality of life is reduced to something like this, yet we prolong agony for humans. Right to live? What about right to die?

  • My best friend was just diagnosed with Alzheimers and believe me! This disease is horrible and affects all loved ones!

  • do you know brent huffman? he works at the brooks institute.

    if so tell him nadav says hi.

  • > I would have myself euthanized before I got to the point

    No, you wouldn't, because if you're not at the point yet, you'd naturally put it off. And when the point arrives you wouldn't have a clue that you ever said that. You might as well do now it now in case it happens tomorrow...

  • I'm a caregiver for my mom who has the same problem.

    I know every thing you feel but i cant leave the house.

    The best thing i do is live the music on the whole day straight music from the 60's

  • I am profoundly sad to read the stories of the families.

    Its hard to let go. My mom was afflicted/developed Alzheimer's back in late 80s. Her zest for life kept her going nearly 20 years in the nursing home. Her sons hated it and would not visit her because they said it was not their mom. (these guys were 50 year old men and still had fantasies about their mom being beautiful - on the outside?)

  • Hello, I'm the sister of the gal right below me on this post... Boy can we relate to you. It's so hard, not only do you see your loved one slipping away into this horror, but your family members go through so many changes, panic, stress, stress, stress and oh the sadness. I miss her so much.

  • My own mother was showing signs of Alzheimers over 6 years ago. She was then diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. After 1 treatment of chemo her alzheimers took over. Her illness has changed everyone in our family. It has

    changed my life. This past few years my only sanity it seems is working with writing songs about memory loss. God bless that a cure is found for alzheimers disease. Bless your hearts. If you need a friend, Carol Sue

  • @CarolSueKirkpatrick are you sure it is Alzheimers? Large infections (cancer for example) can lead to Alzheimer like symproms in the elderly, and then they are often misdiagnosed with Alzheimers and not cancer.

  • just like she cared for you when you were a toddler, remember how many times you made her pull her hairs? and she brought you up to be the caring and good hearted person you are now... that's why you are there taking care of her. God bless you all.

  • excellent video!! It's hard for those not trained, as all family members are not, go thru this. I've been trained, I take care of people who have this illness. Depression is one of the stages of this illness. One of many, sad to say.

  • thanks for posting this i have been taking care of my grandpop who has alzheimers for quite sometime i moved 600 miles to tkae care of him cause my mother couldnt handle it alone
