My last surviving uncle has dementia.
It’s a sad thing to watch him sometimes.
He sees people trying to steal his cattle and wants to stop them. Problem is, nothing in the pasture but cattle.
His son has removed his guns and hunting knives to minimize the possibility of him hurting someone, or himself.
Bad enough to see those we love break down physically, but to see them break down.mentally is devastating.
Dementia & senility are so tragic. - My uncle had a disorder
in his eighties where he “saw” people who were not there.
It was shadows of particles in his brain that were breaking
down. I forget what they called it.
So sorry this happened.
