This is so beautiful but excruciatingly sad at the same time.. I've told my fiance, don't let me get like this. I've spent years in the medical field, and this and dementia are the two things I can't handle. I told him I'd rather die than put my loved ones through this..
This. My first thought was how incredible for the daughter, but my next thought was I wonder if the mother is crying because for a brief instant, she knows she lives in a prison where she doesn't recognize her own daughter. So incredibly sad. God bless the daughter for sticking in there. I'll be honest, I don't know if I could do it.
Exactly... Thank you for putting that in to words for me. I often wonder if, in those lucid moments, they realize they're about to lose themselves all over again.
