Alzheimer's has taken over our lives - #mentallytired #alzheimers #heartbroken #missmygrandma

I'm so damn tired and heartbroken. Over the last year there's been a huge decline in my grandmother with her Alzheimer's. Never in a million years did I think she'd get like this... never thought she'd get old and lose her mind. Her memory is getting worse by the day. She used to just be forgetful, but now she forgets everything within one minute of saying it. It's frustrating, annoying at times, but mostly heartbreaking. 

I wouldn't wish this disease on anyone, not even my worst enemy. Seeing your loved one forgetting everything from the current as well as the past. No longer able to take care of themselves... we do everything for her. Doing everything isn't an issue, that's minor, although it's mentally exhausting. Earlier she wanted to buy a card and send it to her parents for Christmas... wondering if they've put their Christmas tree up yet. She was thinking that she should give them a call, since it's been a while. Her mother has been dead for over 40 years, and father longer.
