    I had my Dad come to live with me when we realized her couldn’t live alone. I was in a completely different state and he loved being there. He had been having mini strokes and the father of ten , all of us well grown and awesome. . He was 79 when he went home to be with Lord. My youngest sister came down to live with me and she would ask my Dad what are we going to do as he forgets us and confuses things. He would laugh 😂 and told her “ sounds like you have a problem”. We laughed about everything! I miss him so much.

    My mother suffered from dementia. I noticed that she had problems after eating carbs and put her on a ketogenic diet, which I also follow. She hasn't had any more episodes since then. Alzheimer's has been called the third diabetes.

    It's heartbreaking, but simultaneously, a beautiful gesture. I lost my mom to dementia in March, and I can't imagine watching her go thru this vapid disease at such a young age. It's a familial disease. Ppl like this are what's giving a voice to the struggle. Thank you. ❤

    Brother said so sad my brother in-law just came home from the hospital and they had to have hospice care, it’s so heart breaking to ask him if he needs a drink of water and he says I don’t know . He can no longer be help to shower or use the bathroom at all. It’s hard enough to see the best brother in law ever to go through that for the last 13 years and it’s even harder to see what it also is doing to his love of his life my sister. From my knowledge of hospice once they step in. I think the end is near. I would give anything to change the outcome but can’t. I’m so heart broken

    Pointless video. After watching it, I still don't know what dementia is or how exactly it affects a person. We see him yelling at one point and refusing a meal but those are normal behaviors for any person. If the goal of the video was to raise awareness it failed.

    Yeaaah, he looks way better off than my grandma. My brother and I decided that if we ever got diagnosed and there isn't a cure or effective treatment we'll take cognitive tests every day and overdose on heroine the day we fall below a certain mark. It may be grim, but dementia is a horrible disease. One day he'll forget how to use the toilet, at some point he'll forget how to feed himself. He'll end up a gibbering shell of who he was and no matter how much his family loves him, he'll be a burden. I'll take some quality months or years and skip out before it gets too bad.

Iran retaliates after US strike kills four at wedding | BBC News

Published

on



Iran has launched missile and drone attacks at US targets across the Middle East, after American forces resumed strikes against Iran.

It comes after the Iranian Red Crescent said four people – including a child – were killed at a wedding celebration when shrapnel from a US missile hit a house in southern Iran.

Iranian media initially said five people had been killed.

The US military says it is aware of the reports but that it never targets civilians, and was striking Iranian targets in response to “recent attempted” Iranian attacks.
