My dearest @ruth-girl
Sorry to hear about your friend's grandma. Gosh, on top of everything she suffered from bad reactions from the medication! Oh my ... Yes, it is a difficult disease for family member to deal with, for the very reasons you said. Although Mrs. Molly didn't become hostile and never lost control over her bladder and bowels, it was very difficult for her daughter to 'suddenly' deal with the idea that her mother did not know who she was.
It is great to hear that your grandma is healthy and doing well. I am sure that she is very much loved, and that also helps!
As for this question:
if there is an afterlife, do Alzheimer's patients make it there whole or is it their "lost" mind that moves on?
I am confident to say this is one of the smartest questions someone has ever asked me! When I read it I was like "wow" what interesting thought process that is! :D You are a smart girl indeed, Ruth.
My guess here would be that they would make it there in the same mental state they 'left' here.
Much love to you always!
You are incredible :)
Yes, I felt sorry to see her like that. It was mostly her daughter, my friend's mother, who could not deal with it. You could sense her anxiety in the way she talked and how she behaved, she didn't want to leave the house, she wanted to be there for her mother all the time. You know, after the diagnosis they got the old lady to live with them in order to take care of her. The whole family was on a joined mission: look after grandma.
I like to believe in your guess. Since if there is a happy place in the afterlife, it would feel nice to "wake up" and be their self again :D
Aaw! Thank you for the compliment!
Lots of love back to you! 😁 ❤️❤️❤️ ❤️❤️❤️ ❤️❤️❤️
