This week has been tough. Dad fell Thursday, hit his head, and was hospitalized. His move to a care home has been expedited for his safety, though he struggles to understand. I’ll visit daily and pray he finds comfort there. #FamilyStruggles #ElderCare #LoveAndSupport

This is when I realised dementia is not a man (or woman) progressing!!

“I’ve been told to let Dad sleep when he wants and be awake when he wants, but the problem is, when he wants to be awake, I want to sleep.”

Please be aware that every time I post something about Dad , with or without a video, I always ask for his approval.
It might be fleeting, but I want him to know!

As my dad’s condition progresses, I’ve found myself stepping into roles he once held, care, guidance, and reassurance. It’s bittersweet to realise how much the dynamic has changed.
Patience is everything, but it’s not always easy.

Our brains are like bookcases filled with countless books that hold all our memories. Unfortunately, Alzheimer’s and dementia are like an earthquake shaking the shelves. The fallen ones are the memories lost.

The disease has progressed, I hate that word, it’s the reality we’re facing. He now sleeps about five hours a day, and the rest of the time, he’s talking. Dementia is such a cruel disease, and we need to keep fighting it.
