Welcome to TP Tigger. My mum has dementia too and it's been hard these last few years but with the help of TP friends I've faced it all and come out smiling. Look after yourself. You are important too xx

i just want to remember my mum as my mum wen i ring and speak to her every thing is normal but my sister says wen she sees people she does reconice them and that would break my heart and i dont think im strong enough for that at the mo and it costs 45 pound each to get to my mums and me and my hubby have not got the money and it does hurt that i have not seen my mum

..did you mean to say that when your mum sees people she 'doesn't' recognize them tigger? and that it is this you can not bear?

yes she sees my sister every day and some times she doesnt recognize her

Very tough to take that, heartbreaking - but one must live for the times mum does recognize you - If you can bring yourself tigger, try to see your dear mum, that would be my advice

I'm dreading the day my mum doesn't know me and keep looking for signs of it, it's a killer of a feeling....I will always see her though

Take care
