Thank you for sharing something so personal. I'm sure this will help so many people. I can't imagine the amount of strength it took you to film this, thank you for sharing. My Granny had dementia and now my Auntie has been diagnosed so I have an idea of how heartbreaking and frightening it can be for everyone involved. I completely lost it at the end when your Mum looked at you and smiled, such a beautiful moment. You're an incredible woman X
Sam A thank you so much for your heartfelt comment... I just wish someone would hurry with a cure .. Wishing you and your family the strength needed to deal with this horrible disease.. Sending you lots of love xxx
Great video. Amazing, the amount of thought and care you put into it all, having to cope with what must be one of the most dreadful deseases that could possibly affect us. That ending beautifully showed the reason why you go to all these lengths, the love was palpable. Originally i also wanted to comment something more about the camera, but it doesn't seem fitting after that, so i'll save it for another day.
You have a lot of patience, Andri. Not sure how you cope so well. Very brave and strong. Life is so cruel, she is lucky to have you. 🌼🌼🌼 It is incredible how you need to change your life, schedule and way of doing things. Older people are like children, so much attention is needed.
Mia WallaceinLondon She is very much like a baby, and I’m now her parent ... Caring for my mum has become easier since having the help of carers, but yes I’ve had to adapt..Thank you so much for taking the time to watch this video ... xx
You have such an amazing character. What a beautiful soul you are to love so deeply by doing whatever it takes to take care of the woman who gave you life and clearly loved you as much as you are loving her now. I'm very touched by your brave story. Your willingness to share your experiences will help so many people who are just encountering a loved one diagnosed with dementia. God Bless my Lovely XOXO XOXO❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The Luxury Hybrid Thank you so much for your kind words, but I’m only doing what my mum deserves .. I really do hope these videos help .. Sending you lots of love gorgeous lady .. xx
These videos are absolutely mind opening. I just NEVER thought of the little things like not knowing how to sit...Thanks for doing these videos. You and your mom are in my prayers continually. The onsie was a great idea! Wishing you continued strength. That look that she gave you. She knows you're there. She knows it and she loves you so much. (crying at my desk at work and don't care...)
Amy Elizabeth thank you for your prayers... As much as was not expecting my mum to look at me with that knowing look, I’m so glad I now have saved for ever .. xx
😢😢😢😚😚😚 the ending Andri... when she looked at u and smiled was the most beautiful precious thing I've seen in a long time. God bless... I know how difficult it is. Xx
What a beautiful ending.. I had tears when I saw the look your Mum gave you. As you may remember I see the impact dementia has on families every day. ‘Activities to share’ is a good site which may have some items of interest to you... they also have some twiddle muff pets, therapy dolls and more robust twiddle muffs. Thank you so much for sharing this! I would highly advise a rise n recline chair, just measure your room first to make sure enough space for the recline function. Thank you again Andri xx
Patricia Teague They are an amazing help.. Honestly, at the start I hated 5he thought of all these strangers coming in and out, but I’ve learnt that the pros outweigh the cons .. xx
My dear Andri thank you for sharing what your private everyday life encompasses in such an informative and clear way, as difficult as it is. You are helping so many. Those last few moments brought tears to my eyes because I could feel the love she has for you, and you for her. You are an incredibly loving and giving daughter. My love to you and a big hug to your mum xxx
Chateau_chic_ thank you Mimi .. The ending was so very unexpected, but absolutely love that I now have it as a saved memory.. Sending you lots of love my friend xx
Ur a beautiful lady inside n out. ❤️ u had me crying. I pray n hope my boys will grow up to be loving n caring souls. 🙏🏻 thanks sooo much for sharing ur beautiful mom n the special moment at the end my lady Andri! 😘😘😘😘😘😘Sandy
The dolls and the twiddle muff are amazing secret items to make loved ones feel happy, entertained and keeping busy! Thanks for sharing :) also, I loved learning some Greek phrases on that vocabulary list you wrote for the carers - so thoughtful! Wonderful vid as always
Bona Venture I only do what my mum deserves... Capturing that moment was very special and honestly quite unexpected.. Thank you so much for watching xx
Carers that you can trust are worth their weight in gold. I bet this is just a smidge of what life is really like for you and your mum. It was like your mum knew who you were at the end there, it brought tears to my eyes. X
