nicely put
My gran has advanced dementia or something very like it. My gran, the furiously self reliant woman who did everything for herself and still worked voluntarily for a charity shop in her 70's ceased to be around 6 years ago. She is now helpless and has to have 24 hour care. The very worst thing about it is the thankfully increasingly rare snaps of lucidity she has when some sort of connection is made and you can see that she knows what is happening to her. Seeing her eyes when that happens is heart breaking. She had a heart attack last year and i felt truly awful for hoping that she wouldn't recover. I don't go up to see her as often as i should because i hate to see her like she is.
sorry this isn't funny i am just having a soul searching day
