my Darling husband seems to be progressing so quickly...he is nearly non verbal except for a sentence or two and short sentences. seeing his beautiful smile and him crying are lesser and lesser...we listen to his favourite songs and he used to cry and now, his eyes just seems empty of emotions but I know, he is listening...I tell him...how much I love him and I would never leave him...that was his fear when he was still more lucid...he would say...to never leave him and I assured him...I never will...I am with him daily at the Care center daily...travelling 3 bus rides each way...I love him soooo much and pray that he would not suffer in the end...looking back over the 15 yrs...he has had the symptoms and this last 4 yrs....I knew something was not right...but he refused to see a Specialist until the day, he had to be rushed to emergency...I pray for all patients suffering with this illness as well as their loved ones grieving the loss of a beautiful mind and soul....Thank you for this video.

New subscriber. My mummy would be stage 6-7. She’s just been put into hospital level care today here in New Zealand. My dad looked after right up until he physically couldn’t. So he’s dealing with losing his best friend of 70 years 😢. It’s a struggle. Losing my mum piece by piece. Thankyou for your informative video x

I've always been a list maker. If I have a lot of boring, mundane things to do at least I feel I've achieved something at the end of the day!!

[JoseRodrigues-teyc]

Thanks for your simple and clear explanation of the 7 steps of Dementia. I now realise my wife is late 6 to early 7 and this is most helpful. Am still able to look after her but am acutely aware that help will be needed soon or within the next 6 months to a year. Keep up the good work.

[yvonnetitus]

Knowledge is power. This is so helpful.

[conniepavey]

Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. My mom was just diagnosed but is obviously in stage 6. She is having tons of hallucinations & paranoia. I am trying to gain strength for the future by arming myself with information.

[jerralystark]

Subscribed and I want to tell you that I enjoyed hearing your explanations of the stages. I have a friend who has been diagnosed I don’t remember what stage it’s early but knowing all this makes it easier for the caregiver I think to know what’s coming and how to prepare for it. I myself about lol maybe a year year and a half ago. I started noticing things about myself and so I’m not in denial. I know things are coming. Probably that I don’t want to have happen But. i’m eating years old now and I’m going to try to hang on as long as I can keep my mind safe. But I know life takes its toll but thank you so much for making these videos. They’re very informative and helpful. Thank you again.

[kandiceblu]

Well, I make list. I have my whole life so I guess I’m in stage three …I’ve never heard of such a thing being a thing… I’ve made a list my entire life.

[lindaswanson]

This was very helpful as my husband has gone from Stage 3 to 5 in less than a year and sleep especially has increased. He also has Parkinson's which exacerbates all the symptoms. The VA has given me 40 hours/week or home assistance which has been invaluable. When a memory care facility is required, he will be going to the Delaware Veteran's Home because at only 75 currently the civilian facilities are generally women in the 80s and 90s. Thanks for your informative video and God bless your work.

I know this video is old but I have just found you. I've already learned so much from you. My brother has dementia & I've been devouring info & videos. Thank you so very much for your expertise & great info.

[Angie_bae]

Nana is currently stage 6. She does have some “spark💥” moments when she’s able to tell stories and talk to you functionally in great detail or sing, and other days she can’t talk in complete sentences or even eat properly/use bathroom without help.

[dovie]

[edwardb]

Good, clear description of the various stages.

[lorrainesiri]

I am going crazy!! from the time I moved in with my mom her disease has progressed, she becomes so mean and hurtful she had me in tears a few times. i don't know what to do anymore, I am desperate in need of help. she does not trust me and makes up all these lies hides her bank cards, she doesn't understand that she has medical bills that need to be paid and for her personal use. she hides everything and doesn't know where she put it.
