That is an awful milestone. I am so sorry.
My mom has age related short term memory problems. We were relieved by that diagnosis, vs dementia. It's still hard. Hugs, dear Pea.

((Hugs)) from me too.
And I want to also say that I’m glad you posted about it - it’s so important to tell someone exactly how you’re feeling at times like this, and not bottle it up, but it can often be hard to tell someone you are close to. So please do come and post here whenever you need to tell someone what’s happening.

I’m so sorry. Dementia really sucks because it’s like losing your loved one twice.

I am sorry. We had to move my mom into an assisted living dementia unit in 2019. It was very difficult to spend time with her once she stopped remembering me. She had some really good days where she recognized me right away. Dementia is a mean disease, robbing people of all of their family. I imagined it was so lonely for her somedays. Sending you hugs.

Sending you hugs. It’s so hard to see our parents age and go through stuff.
