alt: i worked at a nursing home when i was 15 and it was sad and i cried almost every night
there was a woman in her 40s with alzheimers and her husband brought a basket with stuff and took her on a picnic for their anniversary and at the end of the day he had to leave and she just sat there crying and looking around and it was so fucking sad i still cry a bit when i think about it

Oh thanks
Now I feel really sad.

My Grandma-in-Law has dementia, she's completely lost it, just sits in the chair and smiles at everyone who walks past.

I don't want to go out like that, I want to go from rude health to dead as quickly as possible.

I live two minutes away from a home for old people with dementia.
Me and my dad joke that we'll stick my mum in there when she's gone totally doolally.

Because she thinks you're joking?

Because she thinks she's Napoleon and will be sent to Elba.

They'll be laughing on the other side of their faces
when she gets sprung by a bunch of Corsican pirates and gets the band back together.

she just sits around and chuckles.

My mother gave us all strict instructions to stick in her in a home when she's ready.
She knows we'd pick the best damn home there is.

My mum had Alzheimers
early onset so she went downhill quite quickly. It was pretty grim visiting towards the end.

My mum made me promise
not to put her in a home if that happens. The plus side is I guess, she'll have forgotten that
