You are a piece of shyt if u leave your love one along to battle anything from alzeheimers, cancer etc etc

I literally gave up my life in 2016 when my dad was diagnosed with lung cancer

I took him to appointments, got his food for him, spent as much time as i could till he passed away in 2021.. now my mom is elderly and im taking care of her even though she can move around her house and do things, she still need help with bills, doctors appointments and medication…

A lot of these places you want to put your love one in is very expensive and insurance won’t cover it so u got to come out of pocket

Then reading what others just posted, your own spouse, child, family member will abandon you because they still want to live their life, fukk daddy or mama that raised you or the person who married you…
Hyper capitalism in this bytch man. Our people, shyt all cultures of people really, take care of the elderly because it's necessary and families planned for that. Of course that requires a simple life style and family members to basically grow up and live together within a close distance from each other and also have the time needed to help.

These days most people have to move away from families in the poorer states for a good life and in the richer states they gotta work and be busier to survive, and check the birth demographics

If we don't have time and resources to raise children, then we can't do it for adults, and that's just me talking about the people who WANT to help.

Probably the scariest disease possible...it gives me a great sense of dread, all that knowledge and personality, gone, never to return...

Also there's a version of this for children too, it's called childhood disintegrative disorder to, it's on the spectrum of autism and basically works like Alzheimers, though it won't kill the child. Super rare but it's just food for thought on how fragile and incomplete our biology i

I’m so sorry for Mike and his wife. I’m so happy that he is there to give her the comfort and to make sure she’s in her own home and comfortable

Keep your mind active and engaged​

You could do all of that and fukk around catch a slight/small stroke or have a spill and activate the shyt, breh.
Not saying that you saying that people who caught it ain't keeping mentally active and what's not, but it's almost like winning the lottery in some cases, how it just creeps up on you or starts.
My Grandmother got it in her elder years so peope just assume it's natural onset senility, but my Uncle (Her first son) was doing good, being his regular self, saw him the same morning he was drinking a Guinness, hot, talking shyt per usual and that evening his wife had to call one of my other uncle's cause they said he was just out in the yard, scratching his cheek, sitting there muttering about shyt slurring his words.
Took him to the hospital, said he had a minor stroke but was alright, and then his fam just noticed he started 'slipping' mentally, 'cause the ball started rolling.
He in the "Wandering" stage now as I call it, 'cause it's been a few years but thankfully he's still cognitively sound to not appear like he's got dementia from a distance.
Heck, if it's anything it made him damn near a neat freak, the way he washes his hands/picks up trash he sees around him.
fukk Alzheimer's/Dementia.​

That’s tough. I got family with early onset dementia & I don’t know how ima react when they no longer recognize me :mjcry:

Takes a special person to care for them as it requires extreme patience which I don’t always have
