How’s my little Frankie?
Your dear Nan asked today
He’s gone off to heaven
I struggled quietly to say
But you didn’t tell me
Her tears fall in dismay
.
Dementia’s a curse
Her mind in disarray
Confusion, lost mem’ries
Pain that won’t go away
I did love him so much
The games we used to play
.
Trying to remember
When life was all okay
A time of innocence
Filled with fun everyday
How things change so swiftly
Now the brain does decay
.
We all loved you so much
Wish you were here to stay
Nan cannot understand
That you have passed away
My dear little Frankie
In heaven’s where you lay
.
Love you so much
Sweet Angel son

Always. I realized something the other day when looking at your photos of Frank’s headstone. My Dad was Frank Thomas, also! Perhaps they’ve found each other up above β€

Dementia is a bitch, so sad having to tell someone the same sad news over and over

Thank you.
Yes, it’s truly awful.
And yesterday my mum was convinced that she didn’t know that Frank had passed away, and was adamant that I hadn’t told her.
It’s been three and a half years.

So poignant, the elderly grandmother realising through the dementia that he has gone.

Thank you.
It is so hard for my mum… She was so upset, as if re-living the awfulness all over again.

That’s such a hard one. My mom had Alzheimer’s and I had to tell her over and over that her husband and her parents were gone. Such a cruel disease. My heart goes out to you.

Thank you.
It certainly is a cruel disease; losing the ability to recall memories is so very sad, and to see the slowing of the thinking process and the apathy setting in, is most disheartening.
