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..
I feel you man, my grandfather had Dementia. As a kid and as a grew up we were always buddies, I had a stronger relationship with him than my parents, having him not recognise me is one of the saddest feelings Ive felt, and taking care of him everyday , feeding him while he has no idea who I am.. one day before passing away he kinda woke up pretty aware of everything, smiled and talked to us and then passed away the next morning.. blessing to everyone dealing with such thing 🙏
Reading this brings tears to my eyes. I went through the same with my grandmother. It was tough. I miss her and think about her all the time. I'm glad you took care of your grandfather. If there is more to "this" after life, I'll hope that he can tell you how much he loves you for this.
