LOSS then GRIEF : DEMENTIA PT1: My moms last 2 years

As we continue our MERVYN ISAAC GRIEF SERIES we take a look at the 'disease' that is DEMENTIA. Dementia is an umbrella term for a collection of symptoms—such as memory loss, declining cognitive skills, and behavioural changes...(source : google ) It isn't a mental health disease or illness, but in its wake there are many who struggle with the mental challenges associated with the disease - for friends, family, carers AND the one who actually suffers form this debilitating intrusion in their lives. THE FULL TWO PART EPISODE VIDEO IS AVAILABLE ON YOU TUBE - @HeartFeltWithJAX Here I chat to a person I have loved and respected for all of the 44 years I have known her. As her sister, Lee-Anne, and I developed a close bond as young kids navigating life, their mother, Gay - known us us all as Mamma G - was one of those people that you could not fall in love with. Such a caring individual whose only flaw was her incredible ability to trust every soul she met - totally not believing that a number of them had darker - completely opaque true natures. She suffered much pain for her gift of loving.... In this first episode, Karen leads us from the moment of realising that her mother was in a situation of concern during lockdown 2020 till the last few months of her life as she was sat in a special Dementia home deteriorating daily... We learn much about what carers of their loved ones go through as well as what the actually stages of dementia sufferers go through physically, emotionally and mentally. We learn about Dementia eyes and what they mean. Not only is this subject common to many people, Anthony and I lived through the demise of a truly exceptional human being. Not only was she Ants aunt...she was also another mother and friend of mine for so many years... I hope you get a lot of valuable information that is available in this episode...and dont forget to watch episode two.
