This is so dear to my heart. There has been so much of this in my family. Purple is the color of Alzheimer's and Dementia awareness 💜😔💜 I'm asking everyone to put this on their page. Think about someone you know or love who has had or has Alzheimer's or Dementia. This is very personal to me. Thank you!

THIS. RIGHT. HERE. 👇🏼

If I get dementia, I’d like my family to hang this wish list up on the wall where I live. I want them to remember these things.
1. If I get dementia, I want my friends and family to embrace my reality. Just go with it & have fun!
2. If I think my spouse is still alive, or if I think we’re visiting my parents for dinner, let me believe those things. I’ll be much happier for it.
3. If I get dementia, don’t argue with me about what is true for me versus what is true for you.
4. If I get dementia, and I am not sure who you are, do not take it personally. My timeline is confusing to me, and I may not even recognize my own reflection in the mirror.
5. If I get dementia, and can no longer use utensils, do not start feeding me. Instead, switch me to a finger-food diet, and see if I can still feed myself first.
6. If I get dementia, and I am sad or anxious, hold my hand and listen. Do not tell me that my feelings are unfounded. Sing or dance with me to distract and make me laugh.
7. If I get dementia, I don’t want to be treated like a child. Talk to me like the adult that I am. Don’t talk to me like I’m stupid, and don’t let anyone else do it.
8. If I get dementia, I still want to enjoy the things that I’ve always enjoyed. Help me find a way to do some of it.
9. If I get dementia, ask me to tell you a story from my past, even if it’s the same one you always hear.
10. If I get dementia, and I become agitated, take the time to figure out what is bothering me. Be patient. I’m probably frustrated because I can’t express myself, I’ve lost my independence, I’m not feeling well, or I’m feeling fearful or anxious.
11. If I get dementia, treat me the way that you would want to be treated.
12. If I get dementia, make sure that there are plenty of snacks for me. Even now, if I don’t eat I get hangry, and if I have dementia, I may have trouble explaining what I need.
P.S. ~ I love sweet treats.
13. If I get dementia, don’t talk about me as if I’m not in the room. Don’t let anyone else do it.
14. If I get dementia, don’t feel guilty if you cannot care for me 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It’s not your fault, and you’ve done your best. Find someone who can help you, or choose a great new place for me to live.
15. If I get dementia, and I live in a dementia care community, please visit me often.
16. If I get dementia, don’t act frustrated if I mix up names, events, or places. Take a deep breath. It’s not my fault. I’m trying.
17. If I get dementia, make sure I always have my favorite music playing within earshot. Turn my favorite show on.
18. If I get dementia, and I like to pick up items and carry them around, help me return those items to their original place. Don’t accuse me of stealing stuff.
19. If I get dementia, don’t exclude me from parties and family gatherings. I need stimulation, whether I realize it or not.
20. If I get dementia, know that I still like receiving hugs, kisses, and touches. As a matter of fact, I need it.
21. If I get dementia, remember that I am still the person you know and love in this shell. I am still those memories. I still love you.
ᴄᴏᴘʏ ᴀɴᴅ ᴘᴀsᴛᴇ in Honor of someone you know or knew who has dementia. In Honor of all those I know and love and lost who are fighting Dementia/Alzheimer’s.💞💜.

Just so you know...😢It’s called the long goodbye. Rapidly shrinking brain is how a doctor described it. As the patient's brain slowly dies, they change physically and eventually forget who their loved ones are and become less themselves. Patients can eventually become bedridden, unable to move & unable to eat or drink or talk to their loved ones. There will be people who will scroll by this message because Dementia or Alzheimer's 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 or Alzheimer's.
In an effort to raise awareness of this cruel disease, I would like to see at least a few of my friends put this on your timeline.
