I think dad may have lost awareness of mirrors/reflections 

This to me is like a metaphorical representation of this disease. It’s as if the actual person gets stuck on the other side of that mirror unable to maneuver freely because they have no control of the physical body anymore. They are just a mere reflection of who they use to be 😢💔

Thanks for sharing this journey with your dad. You're helping alot of people understand the complexities of alzheimer's.

Thank you for sharing the video about your Dad. That's really sweet of you to take care of your Dad gently. God Bless you.

My grandfather’s brother, with his Alzheimer’s, they had to cover, take down or flip over mirrors, pictures, windows, etc...he would see his reflection & punch them...cutting his hand twice, twice was all it took...also had to lock doors from the “inside”, as he took off one day & was found wandering in the median of a busy street, thank goodness police saw his info on display around his neck & was able to get him back home 😔 this is definitely a horrible disease 😔

Prayers for you and your Dad. My Dad is in the late stages and I cry just thinking about him. Such a cruel and inhumane disease for all involved.

Bless you for helping your dad through this. Many are unable. There is an odd similarity between this and autism which I came to recognize through my son.

❤️ Hugs and prayers for your dad. From Italy 🇮🇹

Very sad man. My mom started telling us a woman is following her in the house everytime she sees the mirror.

My dad sadly passed away recently due to Alzheimer's its sad that we yet still dont have some kind of cure or a med that will control it like diabetes but yea my dad just passed away recently i feel for the people going through this and for the families.

Thanks for sharing this. I feel im not alone

It's been 5 years hasn't it?

I'm going through this with my father... it's not easy

Oooo okay ima gunna watch this...

People need to research CBD OIL and Alzheimer’s

The body is fine, it's the mind of the person. They cannot put together the words, ideas to react, to act normal. And they feel frustration too as a result. Reacting mad, or confused. They just dont know how to express it. It's very complex.

You have to wonder what is going on in his mind as he stands there staring at the mirror. Is he hallucinating, seeing things that aren't there? Is he staring into a void, having no thoughts at all? Or is he in some kind of dementia induced trance? Does he see himself in the mirror or does it just not register? I am very curious about what actually happens inside a dementia patient's mind when they get that blank look and seem so disconnected from the world.

I have early onset of Alzheimer's and vascular dementia, I am not looking forward to this. Thank you for sharing. Sending love to you and your family.

So sad! I pray for you. I was just diagnosed with dementia. I am scared!

I found this video years later. I went through the same. I hope you are doing well in your life, and that the emotional toll did not take away your smile. Big hugs from Chile!

Thank you this helps me with my grandma she has Alzheimer’s and my grandpa has dementia

This warms my heart to see your dad being taken care of

Sending light, love and prayers to your Dad! I know it's been very difficult like what I'm experiencing with my Dad ! Be strong and gentl3!

I want to wish you and your father the best in this fight against Alzheimer’s. I know it’s a fight that can’t be won but only slowed down as of right now. But I wish nothing but the best for you all. My grandpa has Alzheimer’s as well and it’s slowly getting worse. I wish people would care more/ do more to help stop this horrible disease but as of right now it’s just a waiting game. Once again I wish you , your father, and family the best 💛

I feel for you. My Dad sadly passed away on Sept 1st 2018. He had vascular dementia. It's a cruel disease. They say it takes an army to look after them in the later stages and this is so true but, we wouldn't have had it no other way. Wish he was still here, but we know he's not suffering anymore. Just love him and be there for him. He will know in his own way 😔❤

I feel for u 😐 my dad has dementia. he had a stroke and now has dementia... ur dad does similar things mine does .u are one brave person. I can't take care of mine he'll fight me if I was to ask him to wash his hands my Father is stuck in the year 1996 it extremely weird he can't he member anything present

Thank you for sharing. My God watch over your family.

Thanx for sharing. I lost my mom in 2013 and I wish I would have thought to record or look for videos to give me a heads up for what I was in for. Truly hard to watch your loved ones go through this. So far your journey is exactly like mine was. Good luck and you are a wonderful son.

You will be rewarded in heaven 1,000 times for being a great son.

Thank you. I’m not alone.

Much respect man

I was just diagnosed with this earful disease. I’m so scared. They say I have years but I live alone in Alaska and have written on post notes in my bathroom to myself to take a walk outside. When it gets too bad I will read this and walk out in the snow and die a death that way. I don’t want to live with this... I’m sorry for you and father....

as an ex carer we used to have to cover the mirrors of our dementia patients because they would stare in them all day. . The cruelest illness ever.

How is your dad today

Alzimers

Hi Dan your dad seems much better than in the early stages to me he is more functional at 91 thanks to you and your family good work Dan God bless you

😞

Had a very similar experience with dad who died from VD last year aged 74. Diagnosed in 2015. Amazing how they change in such a short time. I looked after him until the end, with help from sister and niece

Thank you my father has the same he has lewy body dementia

my grandma is reaching her final stages of dementia, and she doesn’t know her name when you ask, she can no longer walk, she sleeps all day, she barely talks now and has no energy, she only weighs 110 lbs and her diabetes has pretty much disappeared, she hasn’t needed insulin in about 2 years, she used to be about 200lbs, sad how everything can drastically change in the matter of just 6 years

Thank you for sharing - such an unfair disease.

Yes, thank you! Agree with Scottie Hall. So many are touched by Alzheimer's.
