Thank you so kindly for sharing your beautiful story 💜
*My husband was diagnosed with multifactorial Alzheimer's disease. This also triggered epileptic fits.. To be blunt, all the prescription drugs we’ve used did not yield any positive improvement... Lately I have found that Homeocure-Worldwide natural treatment along with adopting a healthy lifestyle has helped him recover completely.

I hope you are well xx
My Mom Had This Vascular Dementia She Would Cry Because She Couldn't Remember The Names Of Her 13 Children... It Was An Honor To Take Care Of Her.. She Couldn't Wait To Go To Heaven.. We Would Play Christian Music Daily For Her.. It Would Ease The Confusion.. I would read the bible to her and she would smile.. I miss her so much.. but know she is with her savior.. and would not want her back.. her new life with Jesus it so much better... no more suffering and confusing.. and I would read the bible too her toward the end.. one day I and my twin took care of her and we Will See Her and Jesus Soon
May I ask how long she suffered from it? Sorry for your loss. My mom has vascular dementia and some Alzheimers
I take care of my aunt with it. It can be so frustrating, but I just try and remember how she was and how good to me she was as kid. Now I’m off to shut the doors that are being open.
Sorry that you have to do that. Its extremely hard to deal with. My father has had it for 11yrs. I hate to say it but there are times I wish he would go soon. He should be in patient but my mother needs his pension to survive. Its a terrible thing! I wish you the best.love Kelly
I hope this can help you.
What a lovely couple. Wishing you the best. Bless you.
Can we have an update?God bless!!
My mom had a stroke exactly one month ago. She is diagnosed with vascular dementia already. This is a women who took pride in everything. Ive got depression, anxiety, insomnia, psoriasis thats taking over my body from stress. I don't know if I'm able to deal with this. We lived together helping each other survive financially as my dad died of cancer when I was 16. All I keep thinking of is taking my own life so our home can be sold and she can be taken care of properly. If I could trade my life to make her comfortable I feel I owe it to her. Im struggling. Its only the beginning and its more bad days than good. I don't have a reason to live anymore. Waking up each day feels pointless.
Oh my dear, I feel so badly for you. Your Mom would want you to carry on. Please reach out to your doctor or other professional for support and understanding. Please take good care of yourself.😢
@@jml7365 My mom is doing worse. I reached out to a depression and anxiety organization but they just advised to see a psychologist which honestly I dont have time for currently. Yesterday morning my mom got a spot in aurora rehabilitation centre. I was told a ambulance would be taking her, half and hour later got a call, Dr canceled it. She was being sent for MRI & Xray, I'm not told why. I have to keep a eye on hospital because mom is in isolation due negligence. She has a CRE infection from not looking after her properly in hospital. I private hospital because she was fortunate enough to have a medical aid. There's so much I can say. I am literally black under the eyes, I get 2 to 3 hours sleep every 2nd day.
We're dealt one hand in life, so play the cards you're dealt, but never fold. When morning comes, I think "it could be worse" - I think of the homeless and the refugees out in the heat and the cold, despairing, under garbage-bag roofs and cardboard box walls, children hungry and crying, unwanted and forgotten
Please take one day at a time, so your not overwhelmed with thoughts of the future. I have been diagnosed with Vascular Dementia and I'm only 61. Stay strong for your mom.
According to Revelation 21:3,4 your future is bright. Soon Gods kingdom on the earth will eradicate all sickness and death. Also shows in Psalms 37: 11 and 29 it will be right here on the earth. Love you guys, and take care!
I appreciate that Olive and Ronnie have shared so much to make it easier for others to understand. Thank you so much!
I looked after a lovely lady who had vascular dementia, she was the most intelligent and interesting person I've ever met. My Granny now has dementia at the age of 99. It's hard for the family but all you can do is be there for them. Beautiful couple, beautiful dogs, thanks for sharing.

Such a beautiful couple it comes as a shock at the time l felt cheated but we had thirty three years of happiness and some people never have that you never loose the memories together l often sit back and think of the good times we shared
God bless you. My mum was diagnosed with it six months ago. It was 6 months after a major stroke. I can see her going downhill fast...

Where do you live? I want to move there! My husband was diagnosed. Sigh.. another trial for me, Lord, how much more can I take??? 32 years of severe stroke damage to this X Special Forces SGM, most strong and handsome and intelligent man I have ever ever known!

My partner has this type of dementia, diagnosed when he was 57. He was also in denial and grew very frustrated by his own actions. We are no longer together as his parents believed his paranoia and they made it impossible for me to look after him any longer. I miss him everyday and I don’t know which is worse to have a partner die or to loose them to this awful disease.
I so hope that such love and compassion find me
Biblical Prescriptionsforlife is another good resource for dementia
My dad has it but is in denial. I told him he looked good for his age the other day and he said 'thankyou, im just glad i havent got dementia'. We were all silent and didnt know whether to say yes you have or not.
Thank you for your education.
This is a beautiful story and very encouraging. I can feel so much love from these two people. And in the end that is what matters most right?!
I wonder if there is anyway to get update on this lovely couple
I have vascular dementia, it is the not knowing what you will lose next that I find difficult, so much has changed but when I look at my spouse so much is the same🤗
I'm now a 61 year old woman I just had dementia confirmed and it's a bit scary although I expected it.
has there been an update on how she's doing?
No one knows what the future hold to any one. As you said, until the researchers can find more effective treatment; the way you and your husband taking care and understanding each other is priceless. May God bless you both.
Great video Olive and Ronnie
Your in for a long haul. Sorry to say.
He reminds me of Burl Ives
God bless and keep both of you.
12:43 6/10/24 I’m diagnosed with Vascular Dementia. I’m still functional but the right word alludes me, names are buried, and times and dates escape into the ethers. I wonder what will happen next all right. I’m still able to be the caregiver for my husband with other issues. Everyday is a gift, yet sometimes I wonder how much more I can handle. There is a plan for me and us. Positive thinking will keep me going.
My lovely Husband has Vas.Dem.sadly,now in a home,after 7 years caring without help,there are no good,funny days,I visit every day and break my heart every day.
What a lovely couple,so very sad for u both,positive attitude and hope wishing you the best for the rest of your life together ❤
My mother has mixed dementia: VaD+Ad. It is devastating to see her decline. And what´s worse it sometimes she acknowledges the fact that she struggles for words to associate to an object.
A beautiful love story❤
I've been married with my wife and I have autism and anxiety but I really want to get married and go to a wedding
Beautiful people! And he sounds like a Willie Nelson. ☘️
v sad but v beautiful
Thnx, 🇺🇲 NYC,U.S.A.
My mum has just been diagnosed with vascular dementia it's like being on a roller coaster
My mom just died from it watching her decline over the years was hardest thing ever takes as many pics and videos as you can now
My mum has it at 56 I don’t know what to do or how long she has left
How is your mum? I hope you are both doing well.
