Hi, I’m new to this so not sure if I’m doing it right
On Tuesday (I think) my grandad got told he had a form of dementia called frontotemporal dementia, I only found out today by accident and I cant stop thinking about it. I’ve researched it and it’s been talking about how there’s no treatment or anything that can slow it down currently available, and it also says the life expectancy . I don’t think we’re (the grandkids) are meant to know so I’m not sure how to act, I suppose as normal but Idk. I just keep thinking surely not, my grandad can’t have dementia, it doesn’t feel real, even saying it.
I personally have always thought he’s been fine, and it was just down to old age, but overhearing my nan and mum talking, they said they knew deep down??
This isn’t even a question thread, I just had to get it off my chest some how lol.
