Really easy to SAY...unless you have an elderly parent with dementia that you are taking care of 24/7!


Thank you. It means no life of your own and living with insanity all the time until you go nuts youself. I’m just about to start having 1 day off a week because it’s just too hard as they decline.

I’m in the same situation. mom maintains the temperature at 85, year round. Can do next to nothing for herself.

It is brutal and get progressively worse. I wonder if there is actually a part of the former cogent mind trapped in the mess of what was once a mind. Does the trapped soul know what is happening to it?
