In today's episode, we reflect on the recent passing of my grandmother, Bolita, also known as Val, and explore the complex journey of grieving for someone living with dementia. While I'm not a medical professional, I draw from personal experiences and knowledge gained along the way. This form of grief is unique as the individual remains physically present while the disease alters cognitive abilities and personality. We delve into various aspects, including grieving the diagnosis, caring for loved ones, family dynamics, and the interplay between dementia and mental health.

“My grandma was like, trying to sit up, like lifting herself up a little bit out of the bed, and then going back down, lifting her shoulders up and going back down. And even the expressions like on her face, it's like, you know how when someone's trying to explain something to you, but you don't understand.”
