RE: Making Time for Elderly Family Members this Winter
Awwww, you're super lovely! All m grandparents have passed away and so I fully support putting the effort in while you can! Dementia and Alzheimer's really are the scariest afflictions to me, it must be extremely tough to deal with sometimes, so good on you for looking after them!
thank you, yes it is really upsetting to see my Grandma going through this because she has always been so independent. She has owned and ran her own busnisses when she was younger and has traveled the world on her own. Now she can't even leave the flat on her own. It is an awful disease.
It honestly sounds like the worst.
My family has no history of this disease but I still try and give as much as I can to charities working towards a cure or management because I can't imagine watching a loved-one suffer from it. It does sound like your Grandparents have had a pretty great life together, and I hope they still get enjoyable moments, especially when their Granddaughter gets to visit.
Oh yes :) They still love life!
