My sister cognitive & directional is totally gone there is not one thing she can do on her own . It’s beyond heartbreaking 💔 she’s a shell of what she once was. I wish their was an experimental where I could live one day in her mind to see what she goes through.

You make this frightening disease much less scary. I love to listen to your series. You are so special in the way you present this difficult information with such care and love. I believe you are truly an angel. Please keep up your incredible work. After listening to you I actually feel maybe, just maybe I can go the distance with my husband now with PDD for 5 years at home. I fail everyday. And everyday I get up in the morning hopeful to do better with the help of wonderful teachers such as yourself. I am truly grateful.

Thank you so much for your grace. I have been taking care of my mom for the last few years. I am not always graceful!

Love this series of videos. So many who are new to this disease. I thought I knew… until it hit my family. I really had no idea how hard it is for the whole family. The fb group and your videos are such a blessing to me and many others. Thank you for what you do!!

I have very mild dementia. Hope it's ok to join. I belong to other caretaker sites. I'm blessed that this was caught very early by a fluke as my Dr thought I had MS. I have watched others, including my grandmother with dementia. It's so sad. I do want to go to a home when I can no longer care for myself. Then I want to die in hospice. I'm also "visually impaired" directly related to the dementia.

OMG. I just found your channel. My husband is about in stage 4. I think. Can't wait to watch all your videos. What a caring sweet lady you are. I needed this so badly.

Sometimes it is not the caregivers fault. Sometimes it is the dementia’s fault. Like when the patient wants to take meds twice because she forgot she took it two hours before. Sometimes the patient wants to lock themselves in their bedroom and the caregiver cannot allow these things. Then the patient gets mad because they don’t want ANYONE telling them no.

well I said I was going to skip this video for awhile because I wasn't sure I wanted to know too much about what's ahead of us. It turns out this video wasn't scary at all lol and I did learn something, you mentioned shadowing. I have never heard of that but I think it cleared something up for me. My hubs can't get up without my assistance and when he is up he can't walk. But I have been going a bit nuts because if I go into the bathroom or kitchen or wherever he constantly yells for me. When I run in to see what he needs, he doesn't need anything. Maybe this is his way of shadowing since he can't walk. I always learn something from your videos Vicky, thank you. And I have learned more in 3 days in your FB group than I have learned in yrs about this dreadful disease.

My mother does this following with a annoying hum.

@Kera.S.

I was a behavior special education teacher for grades K-3. I totally agree with you, behavior and communication are the most important! 💙 🤗 And because of an unmet need!!

@karenowens4317

You are a ray of sunshine..

Thank you so much for these videos. My 83 year old mother was diagnosed with dementia a month ago and we are having a hard time adjusting to this. She stares straight ahead and doesn't acknowledge us when we visit. She acts like she hates us. Right now my siblings and I are just trying to find information.

@user-jq6qf5td5r

I am so glad to find your videos. My Mom is at a 19 in the cognitive test. I’m trying to learn all I can so I can help her. I just want her to feel safe and happy.

@dauneiceherrellbenfield23

Thank you so much. You explain everything well.

That is why I love you as a person you are real people, there is not a phony bone in your body.

@paulafederico3610

I am so thankful to have found your video. My son ,who is a non verbal level 3 autistic adult, has been in a constant state of all the behaviors you described. It's like he has been experiencing dementia his entire life. I am looking forward to the rest of your series on behaviors, and thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. ❤
