2022-12-01 at 9:28 PM UTCMaybe you did die last wednesday and your soul still thinks it's alive.
"the" jab has nothing to do with it -

Originally posted by mmQ How was it interacting with her with her dementia? Did she know your name? Was it a thing that took place over years or did it just happen all fast and hard?
I would say it starts a couple years forgetting names and stuff. For awhile she thought I was someone else and tried to run away and go home. The last six months she didn't know much and pretty much done crazy stuff like putting shit on the walls until she became basically bed bound.
Not something I would wish on anyone, a heart attack would be a better way to go. If I get dementia I hope my wife gives me something to OD on. -

That would be such a weird thing to discern when is the appropriate time to "pull the plug."
Obviously when your loved one doesn't know your name anymore and is smearing shit around I would think that's a good time to do it, but there is also a last time where they DO know your name and they AREN'T smearing shit around. That's kinda fucked up to think about too. -
2022-12-01 at 11:38 PM UTCLike that saying where they say remember the last time you played outside with your friends? Because we all have a last time we did that.

2022-12-01 at 11:42 PM UTCYeah it's a fucked up way to go, she lived with my sister the last few months. I was in charge of her finances which wasn't much but I gave it all to her.
The hard part for me was she didn't know who I was but went along with who she thought I was. -

Who did she think you were? I'm sorry you had to experience that man. It really does sound spooky and weird; worse than death. -
2022-12-01 at 11:45 PM UTCBut! At least neither of you were strapped down and fed bread and water and forced to be eaten alive by insects for decades and decades.
-
2022-12-01 at 11:49 PM UTCShe thought I was some cousin of hers. I'm sure there are worse ways to go like being tortured for months.

Ultimately when someone gets dementia, it's the end of their family and not their self. That's also weird to think about. -

It is actually the end of themselves. They revert and can’t take care of themselves anymore, like they become babies in adult bodies.
