I remember when my grandmother didn’t know who I was anymore. I asked if she remembered my name. She said no… but with a really sweet smile she said, “ You’re my sweet little friend!”

My mom had dementia, but always felt safe with me and always seemed to know who I was. I am the youngest of her 10 kids. Our family was planning our annual 4th of July cookout and she was so looking forward to it! Long before the actual cookout date she got confused and was ready to go to the picnic every day leading up to July 4th. On the actual day of the cookout I went to pick her up and she was so very excited! We got to my sisters home, where we always congregated for the cookout, and half an hour after we arrived, she was ready to go home …back to the nursing home. We all tried to redirect her attention because everyone was there and anxious to spend time with her. My mom raised 10 children, and by that time had 9 grandchildren, and 3 great grands! It was always a circus and I think the busyness of the space was to much for her to handle. So, she was ready to “go home” and we were annoyed!

She was very uncomfortable, and just plain out of place even though she was the matriarch of the family. To much was going on that she could not handle. My sister took her into the house hoping that a quieter environment would calm her down but even that didn’t help. She was ready to go and so I decided to take her. It was a 30 minute ride back to the facility but it was the only thing we could do to calm her. She and I get into the vehicle to take the hike. 10 minutes into the trip the song “Stand by Me” begins to play. Many artists have sung that song, but this was the one sung by Otis Redding. She began to sing and I joined her. She knew every single lyric and we were in sync and we both were so terribly blessed to have had that time together, and we both seemed to know it. By the end of the song we were both looking at one another, and smiling from ear to ear. I had been granted a most profound moment in time with my mother. I am grateful for that experience. She died the following January 29th which was also my son’s birthday. I had the best mom any girl could want.

I used to read my Bible to my mom...that light drew her out of her darkness...once I went to visit she didn't know me she said "if you were my daughter, you'd be pulling that big ole Bible out of your bag!"...

I went through that with my mom. She knew the neighbors, our family, her doctor, the President, but she didn’t know me… and I lived with her! It was heartbreaking! 😢

Sue does this so well, she is so on the nose, face, eyes, vocal tone. She reminds me of all the people in my l8fe who have had various brain/elderly conditions like dementia, stroke, plain old senility and Sue can convey all of that very realistically.

You are a amazing woman Your mom is so lucky to have you for a daughter. She was given an angel when you were born and she didn’t even know.❤

My grandma and I were very close (I grew up in the same house with her) and we remained close through dementia and the end her life. Over the years her expressive comprehension of me changed from “Kelly, my granddaughter who is a teacher” to “the teacher!” “You” and I even got a “grandma.” The last stretch of her time she couldn’t identify at all BUT she always said “I love you.”

This is beautiful work you are doing here ❤

I was my mom's person right up to the end. I would tell her "I'm your daughter". And she would smile and say you are? ..then she would look at me And say you're the person who's going to help me remember everything.. I miss her so much❤

[Davidson.k]

😭💜my grandmother said I was nice lady who took her for nice diving trips. That was enough for me. A few days before she passed she woke up and knew everything. She called me by my nane and thanked me. We received a gift of 3 more days with her. I still miss her. She was a wonderful lady

[chevynova]

My daughters mother-in-law was at this stage. When asked who my daughter was, she would say " The nice lady that takes me to have my hair done ' This was just fine with us.

[Ilovemesomemj]

My dad didn't recognize me after a while. He was in a nursing home, and I would go 3 times a week. After a while he used to say this is my driver and my laundry lady. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. I didn't get upset because I saw him slipping away every time I visited him

[dsrlenechase]

I have already decided if this were to happen me, I will write a message to be framed above my bed "It may seem that I have forgotten you but you will always be in my heart. I will love you forever."

[gingersipes]

My dad had dementia, and we moved him in with us in 2008. He got dementia November 2014, a lot of the time he didn't know who I was, I was just the nice lady who took care of him, however he always knew our 2 children by name. He passed July 2015.

It was my 59th birthday. I said to my mom who was cared for at an extended care home, 'Today is my birthday', she replied with 'Happy birthday" "Its my 59th" She became serious and said 'you are my younger sister'. I was shocked. I walked out to the hallway where home staff consoled me. They all do it I was told. Other daughters caring for their mothers went through the same. They were their mom's niece, cousin, anybody except their daughter.
