i can start to see my mother showing early signs of dementia. i feel really helpless about it, since it shows how vulnerable they are. i try to help with small things, but it is sad knowing i will not be able to slow down the effects of it.
i heard that too! i try to do some of those here and there, but i get kind of tired of them after a while when i am not successful. i am really just dreading her getting much worse and not recognizing me, and having it seem like the past never happened.
that is very sad. my grandma had that and it is devastating to experience it. i am told that doing puzzles etc. keeps the brain active and maybe at least delays it.
