Dame Barbara Windsor was admitted to a care home in July as her dementia has worsened. She looks absolutely marvellous, but yet no longer recognises her husband. So many years stolen away.
Someone once said when you love someone with dementia you lose them more and more everyday. When they are diagnosed, when they go through different stages, when they go into care and when they die. 😢 This is called “Ambiguous Loss” and the grief can be ongoing for many years.
‘Rapidly shrinking brain’ is how doctors described it. I wouldn't wish Dementia on anyone. As the persons brain slowly dies, they change physically and eventually forget who their loved ones are.
They can eventually become bedridden, unable to move and unable to eat or drink.💔
There will be people who will scroll by this message because dementia has not touched them. They may not know what it's like to have a loved one who has fought or is fighting a battle against Dementia.
To raise awareness of this cruel disease, I would appreciate it if my friends could put this on your page for today.
Hold your finger anywhere on the message to copy and paste to your Timeline.💛💛💛
Thank you💕💕💕
For all those that have had friends or have family members living with Dementia my heart goes out to you. 💜💜💜
A special thank you to all willing to post to their time line.
