My grandpa who had Alzheimer's one day came up to me and said " grandson I just want you to know I'm here right now, I don't know for how long but just know that right now I'm here and I love you. You are the best grandson in the world and if I go away again please don't feel sad because I'll always try to come back to tell you how much I love you." Then within a few minutes he was gone again and didn't know who I was. I always remembered that moment.

The daughter looks like she about to cry after she realized who she was

[snuggies]

Before my grandma passed she said, “whenever you feel scared or sad just think of me, and I will come and embrace you”

My grandma who has alzheimer hasn't spoken in months. But everytime I lean over her bed and tell her I came to visit she smiles so lovingly I know she recognizes me

[tubecrazy]

“Well I love Kelly! Didn’t I name you Kelly?” That’s adorable.

[SNUPE_FOXX]

“Well I love Kelly, didn’t I name you Kelly?” I would have been completely bawling 😭

my grandma was suffering from dementia for the past 7-8 years, she hadn't recognized me or my mom in like 3 years. but when she was on her deathbed in december 2022 and already couldn't talk anymore, we came one last time before she passed and when we stepped to her bed she looked at us and smiled and made sounds of joy and I just had the feeling that she knew who we were. after that she passed peacefully and although I am devastated that she's gone, I will always cherish this moment <3

I was the only one among 5 children of my late mother who passed 8 years ago because of Alzheimer’s that she could remember. One day while taking care of her alone, I had a fever & told her “Mom, I’m not feeling well today.” By that time she had lost her mobile ability completely & had to be on bed all the time. Nevertheless, hearing that her child get sick … her instinct as a mother returned. She told me to get a rest, she was going to bring me a painkiller pill. I had teary eyes right away. She forgot that she was unable to move but worried for her daughter’s well being.


Alzheimer’s is such a cruel disease. It is incurable & its patient’s days are just numbered. Watching your loved one is gradually dying is very painful. There were times, a lot of times … I was caught between wanting she’d die to stop her suffering & the realization that when she’s gone, it meant I could never see her again till the last day I’d breathe. Hoping no one has to experience such a nightmare. Sorry for my imperfect English, I’m not a native speaker. Just wanted to share this difficult time caused by Alzheimer’s.

The same voice, the same laugh, the same eyes, the same accent, and most of all, the same heart. A beautiful moment caught on camera.

The moment she said "Kelly", she was touched. That was really heartwarming.

One of the most painful moments while caring for my mom who had dementia was when she introduced me as her niece.... this was so

[beverlyjohnson]

My mom died, she had Alzheimer's disease...for the most part she wasn't verbal, but before she closed her eyes in death we heard her sing. I tell you that was only an act of God. I miss her so much but I'm comforted to know she's no longer in that state anymore. My mom is whole again.... Hallelujah!!

[gabsbarg]

how painful it must be to see the person that cared for you the most, that's been there for you since the very first day of your life... simply forget you.

[DESIpowerrr]

Her daughter's gasp and "yes mama!" got me crying

[kp]

My mom died in 2020. I miss her so much. This brought joy to my heart. My mom’s last words to me were “I love you dolly” dolly was her lovey name for me. I’ve needed her so badly these past 3 years. I really miss my mom!

This reminded me so much of my mom. It brought tears to my eyes. She died 4 years ago at age 92. I remember the last few years I was the nice man who took care of her, I was her husband, I was a friend. Rarely, I was a stranger. My Dad passed away 20 years prior. I was her son, she didn't always remember that, but she remembered my name.
