My Mother Peggy, is already way into her nightmare journey. She has vascular dementia. She just lays there mouth open, fist clinched tight, mainly with her eyes closed and if she opens ....her pupils are dark. It's just like looking into the sea as then the seabed falls and just goes on into infinity.
This is an awful way for her to "live" I have already mourned her passing. I have cut locks from her hair (she would kill me) so that I can feel close to her when she finally leaves. My poor mum.
I am at work right now but she is always on my mind. What I really find hard to come to terms with is that I have a 3 year old son that she will not know but he knows her. I point to her picture on the shelf and he says "grandma" . She does have 5 daughters. But I am her only son.
I came across this site and I wanted to write and express how I feel and participate with you.
I do have a question for anyone who wishes to answer. Why, after a fall does dementia escalate?
Thank you for your time
