This Connections film follows the story of Mariel and her father, Ray. This moving film showcases how Mariel and her family have tried to keep Ray connected to the world around him, even as he lost the ability to communicate with them.
Our brother, is almost in advanced stage of Dementia at 71. Two years ago he was driving, dressing, bathroom without Depends, holding small conversations, bathing, paying his bills, cooking, answering the phone, gathering his mail from mailbox, yard work. Today, none of the above.🙏💞
The same with my dad. He is 72. A year ago he was driving and dressing himself. Now he is in a nursing home. My mom could not continue to take care of him. He is a big man. He is starting to forget my face... makes me sad to see him like this but i accept it. We meed to carry on with life and their life as good as possible
Breaks my heart..my mom has it and i take care of her..We lose them piece by piece..Its a slow almost torture for the family..I do hope one day they find a way to stop or reverse this..😔
I will definitely opt for M.A.I.D. if I ever get diagnosed with this form of dementia. I will not put my friends and loved ones through this absolute nightmare.
I agree, in part. I believe prayer can help the person praying and, since I believe in God, I believe in prayer as a means of connecting with God, but I would never try to convince someone that the prayer will result in an altered course of disease.
@@brianbrinkman7964 I lost 3 family members to cancer . Mom , Dad , and oldest brother. My dad & brother lived a very healthy lifestyle and yet they both died relatively young . My mom did smoke all her life , so it was certainly her fault getting cancer . I really prayed hard that they would beat cancer , but instead they all died a painful undignified death . Praying to God did absolutely fuck all !!! 😡
@@andrewhazenberg3398 I had a similar experience with my dad dying suddenly in a grocery store. It made me think that whatever prayer is, it's not a remedy for the tragedies of life, unless it's a prayer for endurance. I also think about the life choices one makes, so we're probably not too far apart in how we look at the issue.
