my mom is starting to develop dementia early. i feel like i am losing such an important figure in my life much earlier than i should, even though she is still alive. like, she struggles so much with daily activities and remembering who i am.
yeah, i am not looking forward to going down it. i will just try to carve out as much meaningful time with her as i can. i feel selfish sometimes though because there are times when i do not want to be around her because it depresses me how she is changed. i need to get over it.
i am so sorry. i just recently lost my mother after years of her having alzheimer s. i wish there was some way i could help you, it is such a tough road.
