Dementia

I don’t know where I’m going Forgotten where I’ve been I don’t know what I’m doing Can’t remember, what I’ve seen I don’t know what I’ve done Nor what I did it for I don’t know who I am Nor who I was before I don’t know who you are Or why you’re here with me I don’t know how to say Please, just set me free BOEMS BY JA 592

My mother in law , such a beautiful, vivacious woman suddenly developed dementia, and went down very badly over a course of a few months. I love the way you've expressed the decline. I wrote about it also in a poem of mine called Christmas in July. I hope you can read it

absolutely heartbreaking to see the person before your eyes deteriorate so much they don't know you -My mum has memory issues and I see her getting gradually worse:-( hugs jan xx
