My 77 year old grandmother on my moms side is beginning to develop dementia, or as far as we know just severe short term memory loss. This started last year around September. She'd forget about Christmas presents, blank on our names, etc. it's definitely no fun, but we're learning to accept it.
My question to you is: what, in general, should we expect in the coming years?
And also what is a good reaction to have to one of her incidents of forgetfulness? A lot of times I just play it off without telling her because honestly it's really starting to get to me. It's pretty rough seeing someone slowly slip away.
I guess what I really wanted to say is that I'm glad there are people like you out there. Thanks for all you do
