Thank-you for the post.
At first, when I read it, my thoughts were, ' as if we don't realise that's !! As a wife, who's adored husband is suffering with vascular dementia and suffered strokes I do actually know there are different types of dementia. I see the results and deteriorating affects in all of the residents including heartbreakingly my husband, each day I visit him in the nursing home.Others, with loved ones who have dementia, will understand what I am feeling and saying I'm certain. Of course everyone is unique, with or without dementia, MH issues etc. Of course as familes, we all have to find some way of coping, all different. Sometimes we cope, sometimes we have a very bad day, but pick up because we have to.
So, as stated, I felt very irritated and patronised when I first read your post, I now realise others may not know what you were explaining and probably find it helpful.
This is me being honest and hope not offensive to you and offers.
