My grandpa who had Alzheimer's one day came up to me and said " grandson I just want you to know I'm here right now, I don't know for how long but just know that right now I'm here and I love you. You are the best grandson in the world and if I go away again please don't feel sad because I'll always try to come back to tell you how much I love you." Then within a few minutes he was gone again and didn't know who I was. I always remembered that moment.
My grandma who has alzheimer hasn't spoken in months. But everytime I lean over her bed and tell her I came to visit she smiles so lovingly I know she recognizes me
We, the human, are not the same. If someone doesn't like a good video it doesn't mean that the video is bad. It shows that something is wrong with those people. They are not feeling well. 😊
my grandma was suffering from dementia for the past 7-8 years, she hadn't recognized me or my mom in like 3 years. but when she was on her deathbed in december 2022 and already couldn't talk anymore, we came one last time before she passed and when we stepped to her bed she looked at us and smiled and made sounds of joy and I just had the feeling that she knew who we were. after that she passed peacefully and although I am devastated that she's gone, I will always cherish this moment
Many dementia patients have a final moment of clarity where they can finally think somewhat clearly and remember their life moments before they pass. It's amazing and really sad at the same time
I was the only one among 5 children of my late mother who passed 8 years ago because of Alzheimer’s that she could remember. One day while taking care of her alone, I had a fever & told her “Mom, I’m not feeling well today.” By that time she had lost her mobile ability completely & had to be on bed all the time. Nevertheless, hearing that her child get sick … her instinct as a mother returned. She told me to get a rest, she was going to bring me a painkiller pill. I had teary eyes right away. She forgot that she was unable to move but worried for her daughter’s well being. Alzheimer’s is such a cruel disease. It is incurable & its patient’s days are just numbered. Watching your loved one is gradually dying is very painful. There were times, a lot of times … I was caught between wanting she’d die to stop her suffering & the realization that when she’s gone, it meant I could never see her again till the last day I’d breathe. Hoping no one has to experience such a nightmare. Sorry for my imperfect English, I’m not a native speaker. Just wanted to share this difficult time caused by Alzheimer’s.
Thank you and I feel like ur in perfect English made ur words more direct and differently said than most people so it makes me feel what you were feeling wen you say that you want them to die but realize that you can NEVER see them again EVER hits hard
Do you ever get a feeling that some women reproduce via parthenogenesis? I've seen so many girls that are almost identical copies of their mothers but younger. Never noticed such thing with boys and fathers.
My grandmother had Alzheimer's... And days before she dies, the only person that she recognize was my mother, that was her daughter-in-law... She started to cry immediately and ask to my mother take her away from that place; we were at her home... It's very sad....
My mom died , she had Alzheimer's disease...for the most part she wasn't verbal, but before she closed her eyes in death we heard her sing. I tell you that was only an act of God. I miss her so much but I'm comforted to know she's no longer in that state anymore. My mom is whole again.... Hallelujah!!
My mom died in 2020. I miss her so much. This brought joy to my heart. My mom’s last words to me were “I love you dolly” dolly was her lovey name for me. I’ve needed her so badly these past 3 years. I really miss my mom!
I praise God that my mama is 90, soon in May 91 and is as lucid as if she were a young woman. Me and my 4 sisters feel blessed and grateful to still have our beautiful mom.
This reminded me so much of my mom. It brought tears to my eyes. She died 4 years ago at age 92. I remember the last few years I was the nice man who took care of her, I was her husband, I was a friend. Rarely, I was a stranger. My Dad passed away 20 years prior. I was her son, she didn't always remember that , but she remembered my name.
What do u think happens when u die, would u forget everything or.... Anyway I would rather die forgetting most things so I have a lot less to lose and the fear of death eases
True. I heard somewhere (I don't know if it's true) that people with Alzheimer recover parts of their memory when they are close to death. This thing is horrible
I've seen this before, but it still brings me to tears. It's such a special and beautiful moment for both that Kelly can hold onto for the rest of her life. ❤
oh my, my mum passed at 93, this bought tears to my eyes remembering her last few years with dementia. She was often in a world of her own, my mistake was that I was constantly trying to get her back into my world. This only caused more confusion. May God forgive me.
It's not your fault, you did the best you could with the information you had. Your mom (and God, for that matter) forgives you, I'm sure. All the best and all my love to you.
how painful it must be to see the person that cared for you the most, that's been there for you since the very first day of your life... simply forget you.
My grandpa, who i grew up with, asked who i was during his last day. It really broke my heart that he didnt even recognise me nor atleast recall that he had a grandchild thay grew up with him. He didn't who i was and asked who my parents were. It was trully heartbreaking
very true. alzheimer’s runs in my family and it’s very likely my mom will get it. my mom is like my best friend and i have so many special moments with her. It’s going to be hard to get to the point where she won’t remember me anymore
"Even if the brain forgets, the heart will always remember" Edit: to all the negative, edgy comments who ruin it, screw you. No like seriously, if you have nothing good to say then dislike the comment and walk away in the other direction. Don't waste your precious time on an internet stranger like me. Thank you to all the positive comments and people arguing against these comments.
@powerful nugget Oh shut up you sad pile of trash. Legit all you say is "we have no souls, we have no heart, we cease to exist". Be optimistic for once, you know the heart is an organ of emotions and feelings rather than just a blood pumper
The nanny who took care of me when i was little and her husband both have this terrible disease. The husband is in a hospital , but she still at home. I visited Her one last time before the covid. She was scared of me when she opened the door, but as soon as she remembered me she was very happy that i Came. I was 19yo, it was the first time that i saw her alone, taking the bus by myself to come see her, without my parents . I was very sad because she told me the same things in a row, forgetting she already told me that five minute ago. Asking me 9 times what i was studying at university. Telling me thousands time that she missed her husband and wanted To see him but the nurses wont let her. I was about To cry the whole time, but seeing her happy To see me , I couldnt tear up in front of her so i smiled. She had a notebook with her, where she wrote everything To read it To her husband when he would call her from hospital. " He forgets everything, but he never Forgets To call me, every day at 9pm i know he will call me". She told me that, and it was so heartwarming yet so sad. They were always together before, never far from each other. I grew up To them being always close, and seeing them apart is so sad. She was holding her notebook so tight.
Dementia is a horrible disease,I know she was so happy for her Mama to recognize her..My girls are my life and this scares me since it runs in my family..Bless this Mama and Daughter ❤
My grandmother had this, but she never forgot me and my mom. Once my mother asked her how could she forget everything but us, and she said "I forget to forget you and Rayssa"
My aunt has dementia and she doesn’t remember me most of the time, but she still remembers how to play piano marvellously. It’s a weird thing, but I know she’s happy.
I was working with people that suffer from dementia. They don't forget everything, usually they remember things that they've been doing repeatedly for a long period of time
Стремный факт учитывая то что доктора советуют заниматься музыкой чтобы избежать проблем с мозгом. Факт стремный потому что музыка вас не спасёт 😕, и не переплюнет вашу генетику ничто, если у вас в роду были такие заболевания
I would highly recommend watching this video, as cliched as it sounds exercise and a diet high in anti oxidants reverses free radicals produced by meat and stress
I appreciate the advice people are giving, but these are not cures for people who have it. Eating healthy is not a sure fire way to prevent cancers or other diseases. Yes it can help a lot but that's not what I'm talking about here. I'm talking about something that completely reverses Alzheimer's.
Honestly, maybe, but this doesn't proove anything. Many people who suffer alzheimer are so lost that they just accept almost any facts. You could tell to some of them that they've been fighting alongside with captain america and the hulk and they would agree like if it was a normal thing.
@@kloic9334 but the fact she remembered that her name was kelly might’ve brought back some memories “magically”. maybe laying in a bed with one of the people she loves the most defeated the disease for a while in that specific situation and i think that’s extremely amazing! love truly is the biggest force in the world!
@@filiperibeiro5 that would be great, but sadly love don't really have to do anything with it ^^'. People who suffer alzheimer have "clear moments". She surely had one of these and remembered a bit of her life. Those moments are very painfull for the family because they can see the person they loved and then the loved one goes away again.
@@kloic9334 I gave my grandma who had cancer and alzheimers a small apple pie i made in school and out of nowhere she cleared up and started ranting about the apple pie and why my mom would give it to her knowing she hates them. Certain things do trigger their memories to come back again for a short while, unless you're saying it's all just very convenient coincidences which in case you'd be wrong. ^^'
They have bits and pieces of memories left, usually they're too spaced out or distorted to access right, so when you remind them of something/someone they used to love you'll jog their memory
My mum told me in the last moment of my great grandma, she suddenly remembered everyone, she called my mum, my grandma, my grandma's brother and sisters and their kids name one by one. Then she asked my mum what's the name of the kid(me) she's holding. My mum answered, and she said "Ok" , repeated my name and turned her head so she can look outside the window at the sky, repeated my name again and went to sleep. At the night of that day, she's gone.
It's strange, it's like the forgetfulness or sickness comes from the body fighting the illness and wearing itself out rather than the actual illness itself, my nan had cancer and she was severely sick for a few years, then she caught covid and "came home to die" she was bedridden for 3 days then on the last day she woke up and was walking around and acting like her normal self. 7 hours later she died. I think the body realized it was hopeless and just stopped fighting it giving her more energy and just letting the virus and cancer take over
@@j0JP He had dementia, and was in a nursing home, constantly confused - then one day, he knew where he was, who everyone was, and that he was dying. It only lasted that one day, and he passed away 3 days later.
I heard about it, your body suddenly acts and feels okay, but it actually is a sign that there isn't much time left, some patients may even want to leave the hospital not understanding why they have to stay.
I live as a caretaker for my aunt with Altzeimers and this makes me happy to see. Me and my aunt have always been close and it kills me inside every time she doesn’t remember the moments we had when I was a kid. This put a little smile on my face, thank you.
That is the most precious thing I’ve ever seen. You will treasure this moment your entire life, what a blessing that she remembered Kelly and said I love you. My heart is full after I saw this.
Been reading through these comments.. and they are all so beautiful. I can relate, in a small way, to these families. I had a head injury as a young girl that left me with amnesia that lasted about a week or so. Years later, I recalled my family members being lined up and, one by one, being asked by my doctor if I remembered these people. It broke their hearts as I said no to each one. As my memories returned and I recovered from my injury, I would come to understand later in life that I'd suffered the loss of the emotional connections that came with them. Odd, I know. Even though I knew my family and had happy memories with them, at times I felt as though the hospital had sent me home with the wrong family. Memory is a strange thing. The thought that these family members' loved ones that are mentioned here, in this comments section, lost the memory but kept the love.. is so beautiful to me. It's not scary, not remembering. But it can be lonely. God bless all of you.. and thank you for sharing your stories and the memories of your loved ones.
@@jinam9321 I am over forty, less than 70. I'm sorry.. I'm not comfortable giving identifying information here on this platform but I do appreciate your interest. I was 11 when I had my head injury and 32 when I began remembering my days of amnesia. Also.. I have never been able to remember what caused the head injury itself.
I get that feeling my grandpa had it and it broke me when he forgot me. Last time i ever saw him was 2010 when grandma died and he called me Amelia (I guess it's close to Alison) and then he touched my boob and told me it was nice which was creepy as hell.
Actually, this is true No matter how we try to forget someone, intentionally or unintentionally, the feeling they gave you will always be with us . Forever . Until we fucking die .
Wow, what a beautiful moment to have recorded to watch over and over again. How many of us wish we had our last moments with our loved ones recorded? I saved my dads last voicemail message to me (10 years ago) wishing me a happy birthday. I only listen to it on my birthday, so it keeps it extra special. At the time he left it, he hadn’t been diagnosed with cancer. He died 3 months after that message.
This is such a beautiful moment, thank you for sharing it ❤ I have similar conversations with my mum , it’s heartbreaking but so lovely when you get those magic moments 💕
I am so happy that was caught on video so you will always have it to watch! I know it’s a terrible disease and I am sending you best wishes as you deal with the progression
My 87 year old mum has dementia and has had for the last 2 years. Every week her memory fades a little bit more but I am very thankful that she has not forgotten who I am yet. I talk to her and visit her as often as I can. She is very important to me now and always. Dementia is a cruel, sad and stressful disease.
Both my grandpas died with demetia. One was such a quite soft spoken man.... the dementia barely effected him. I learned so much about life through him. I remember asking him near the end if he was afraid to die. He said no. I asked him if he wanted to live still, he said.yes. he wanted to live as long as he could he said. But he wasnt afraid to die. I asked him if I could give him anything in the world right now, what would that be. My demented grandfather, said, he jsut wanted everyone in the world to be happy. I loved that man. My other grandpa had a really hard time. He would claw at his arms and mutilate himself at night. Than the next day he was convinced the nurse came at night and did that to him. So sad. Seems too effect people different. Everyday someone was with my grandpas for years. It really really helped. Just make sure you never stop loving those people. It makes a big difference
I visited my grandmother 1 hour before she passed and the last words I heard her say was “I know I have a disease and I know I don’t remember you but you are my best friend and I love you” I miss her very much❤️
@@zhengningpeng8712 ouch. Okay I’m sorry I don’t wanna be a bitch but she was my fucking best friend and now you are here and mocking her LAST words to me? Jeez go get a life you asshole
I love this video! I’ve taken care of two friends with memory loss. I have a few cherished memories too similar to this moment captured in time. Very heart warming thank you for sharing.
In my father’s last year, he had dementia and didn’t recognize me as his son. I was heartbroken, but someone told me to stop trying to get him to remember because it will stress him out. Instead, just go with what he’s thinking on the given day and enjoy his company. Best advise I got. Our relationship changed because I became more of a friend than a son and I got to see a different side of the man without the filter of a parent. Life’s funny that way.
I cried watching this. I'm only 14 and my parents aren't even in their fifties yet, but this is my worst fear. For my parents to one day not know who I am.
I'd rather die of cancer with a full memory than die without self awareness. When a loved one gets Alzheimers, u lose them way before they officially die.
@rach d My grandpa died from it. It just hit him all at once! It didnt really hit him hard until my grandma died in 08, his wife of 50 years. He died 2013. In 2009-2011 he still knew everyone but u could tell it was there, the silence all the time, mumbling etc, but could still talk. By 2012-2013 he got to where he couldnt get to the bathroom anymore and rarely talked. Just mumbled and didnt know anyone anymore and it was heartbreaking just knowing all of the memories he and I had in my childhood he no longer knew of them
Cancer can be a pretty horrible way to go. My grandfather suffered for 4 years with it. The last 2 months he was in a coma, unable to respond but my mom knew he could hear her. Although he probably had all his memory, I cannot imagine the pain he went through and was unable to open his mouth to tell someone. I wouldnt prefer either. Now my grandmother has Alzheimer's and its getting worse. But shes happy. Thats all that matters. Better than suffering.
@@teenrandomgamer1785 my father died from dementia last month at the age of 71. He was dying in his home in hospice care and it was horrible because he lost alot of weight and he couldn't open his eyes. That time I knew that this was the last stages and he finally passed on.
