I am buying this book! I have been stealing lots of time to watch your videos so I will just steal some more time to read. The same Dr that told me to never lie to my hubs also told me not to google this disease because "it's a rabbit hole of untruths". He was wrong on both points. I feel blessed that I discovered your videos and now your FB group. I only wish I had found you sooner then I wouldn't have had to beat myself up as much as I did. And you are correct, the ppl in the FB group are geniuses! Some of your videos are so spot on that I feel the need to look out my window to see if you're peeking in LOL
Aww! Thank you so much! You will find some help in there I hope!
Like Heaven looking down on you. Thank you for sharing all that you do. Knowledge is powerful!!!
I did think about that when I first saw it. I hope continues to bless the work of my hands. He gave me this passion and platform.
Thank the LORD for you and others that are out the in the trenches helping with these videos geared toward us caregivers. I have just recently, within the last week or so, found you on UA-cam, I'm a 74 yeqr old taking care of my wife of 53 yeqrs who is 82. Our situation is rather unique as she is Japanese and has always been very private about personal things. I have finally gotten her past the "boy/girl thing when it comes to bathing and helping her dress. We have been dealing with this for about 5-6 years but she is still active, like an 82 year old-6 year old with adhd, so trying to keep her entertained is a full time job in itself. Your videos on the stages and some of the others have given me some great tips and helped me to understand a little better of where we are on this journey. God has been god to us and she , as well as myself have been Born again Christians for many years and she still loves the chruch. Anyway, I'll stop rambling and get off here but thank yo once agin for the greaat helps. I also watch some of Dr. Natilie ? spell.
Hi Vicky, thank you for your knowledge and insight into this awful disease..You have been wonderful in answering my different questions and I so appreciate you I really do
One of the advice points you gave me for getting myself tested for dementia was to get a neuropsych test. I only have Medicaid
here in Oklahoma and it is not covered.
Any advice from a Social Worker's point of view on what next I can do? I'm 57 yrs
have Parkinson's and am not able to work
My husband is 61 soon and has had to file his disability for his own health. Ive bought and read your first book Dementia with Grace 👍🤗 I've got alot of my ducks in a row so I'm not a burden on my daughter who is my POA. Do I just hum along in life until my mind is obviously in question❓
I have no doubt I'm in stage 3/4
I welcome a video on caring for a person that was difficult before aging (abusive to women, children, pets) and now has a layer of dementia that was not recognized because his long-time personality matches dementia checklist: repeating stories, repeating questions, rechecking belongings, asking questions to questions to get you to answer to keep his options open and b/c it is (he admits) easier, forgetting big blocks of time of how people in his life fit relationally and chronologically (including divorced wife, children, big events, homes), and responds to stories about his misbehavior with "I didn't do that"...all his life. Do I call my person on his lies, do I correct his memory, or do I have pity on him and treat him as a person with memory loss?
I love being in the Dementia with Grace Support Group the caregivers are very sweet, kind, and helpful. Thank you Vicki for hosting this amazing Dementia Group!

I have so much trouble with patience and calm!! I am hoping THIS is a stage but I am in the angry and impatience stage!! I have to get it together but am having trouble because this has gone on so dang long!! This has been going on for some 20 years now and I have no help and ai have my own health issues and needs. He's like a 15 year old teenager and at least my teenage sons passed through the selfish/it's "all about me stage" into manhood. Interruptions, moodyness, selfishness, all needy, he spend all day on his phone and Laptop and wants me to do everything for him. UG!
My Dad used to say they remember the years past because that's when their memory was good..kinda makes sense
That’s actually exactly right. In the recent, short term memories the problem is that they are process differently in hippocampus, and are not move from short term memory to long term memory.
🤗🙏👍 thanks!
Hi
Until what stage of dementia the person can leave by herself with six or seven hours help during the day please??
This is a very individual question! It’s about safety and security. If you have gone heath care, get the social worker involved. They would be able to help better because they can evaluate the person and surroundings.
Grace is still not here I have not seen her in a year
She is in the office!! Lol!! Grace Flamingo!! 🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘
