Hang in there girlfriend. You can make it. My prayers are with you. I walked your road 3 yrs ago. I still love and miss my grandpa.
Does anybody else cry when they hear this song? Or is it just me. #RememberMe
trust me, you are not alone. Just saw it for the first time
You are definately not alone. I´m crying too...
A tear jerker for sure. My best friend for over thirty years just got diagnosed with Alzheimer’s she’s 60 it is so sad.
Yes, I've watched it twice, back to back and the tears roll.
I could barely type out thank you because of crying
I'm 47,and when just 42 I was diagnosed with Dementia, finding this song matches just how I feel my days slipping away as I can't remember some or even just as the song says words I need or want to say.. so yes I cry as I listen to this and thank the artist who song it!!

Joyce… are you..okay?..
I’m battling Alzheimer’s at the age of 38, it’s a tough journey
So very many hugs for you.
I am currently sleepless in Michigan, where I am visiting my Dad. He was living independently, healthy, and relatively sharp, until he had a fall 3 months ago. For some reason that triggered not only a cascade of crippling health problems, but full-blown dementia seemingly overnight. I've been with him now for 4 days, and it's been the shock and heartbreak of my life. We thought when he made it through the initial critical injuries that he would heal and bounce back. Instead he is 40 pounds underweight, weak and frail, unable to walk without assistance, and mentally he's mostly no longer present, mostly unable to communicate, and only remembers who I am intermittently. I stumbled across this video and it made me start crying all over again. A truly insightful, poignant, soaringly beautiful song.
My gentle, angel mother had dementia. She had to be watched 24/7. It's heartbreaking to watch them slowly slip away and become a stranger.
For my dad, diagnosed just a week after turning 48. We cared for him at home. A strong, beautiful, kind man. He lasted 14 years until Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome killed him. RIP. Too painful for me to describe.....
Mary Hill *hugs* early onset is heartbreaking. A tear stained purple ribbon in memory of your loved Daddy, from one heartbroken daughter to another....
@@jillanderson2596 Thank you from the bottom of my heart. And one from me, to you, dear!

Sorry for your loss
The dancer gives a new dimension to the song. God bless her.
Purchased this song on behalf of my Dad.
He's got a extra tough fight on his hands dealing with Alzheimer's AND Parkinson's.
I love you Dad!
Chris, This song is soooo very beautiful. I cried through the entire video. I am a Registered Nurse and care for patients affected by Alzheimer's Disease...and have been an eyewitness to the pain and emotional destruction left in the wake of this debilitating and progressive disease (both as an RN and because my own Grandfather recently passed away from Alzheimer's Disease.) To everyone... Please be patient, be compassionate and always treat them with love and dignity. ^i^
I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. And thank you for all you do as an RN working with patients affected by Alzheimer's disease.
@@OfficialChrisMann,
My God blessed me with you, Chris Mann.
At 62 years of age and He continues to bless my life with surprises ❣️ "

care givers are a special kind of angel. God bless you
My grandfather passed away from dementia last February this song made me cry
I'm taking care of my mother now with Alzheimers...I need to remember how she was, my siblings and I are the only ones left who can. Thank you for this song.
I lost my Beautiful beloved cherished mum to Dementia.But she always remembered me being the one constant Loving son in her life.Her memories and the love we shared will stay with me forever.👼😇🙏❤️
My mother doesnt remember our names but I know she knows us deep inside.
I was a reckless child I've put her through alot of stress getting home drunk, with a bandage on my head, always demanding money.
I didn't know that all the stress we gave her will get her to where she is now. I cry everyday regretting the days that I shouted at her thinking she was normal. The feeling of guilt will never go away and it haunts me everyday.
What hurts more is that I stopped everything for her drinking smoking everything but its too late she doesnt recognize my progress now.
Everything's for the better atleast she smiles now and she's happy I cant forget her smile when I cut my hair she put her hand on my head and smiled.
I feel like she knows everything she just cant put it to words.
If you're reading this and a beloved one is struggling then don't lose hope don't get frustrated always smile and help ur beloved one do whatever they like.
If ur beloved ones are in good health then take good care of them. Be a good kid always make them satisfied of u cuz trust me u wont b able to live with the guilt knowing that u let them down and u cant make it up for them.
Hope u all a great life
I have lost my dad and now my mom to this terrible disease. This song brought me to tears as the truth is so strong! Chris Mann-your voice is amazing and the feeling you are able to bring with your singing is amazing.
My heart is breaking 💔. My mother has Alzheimer's, and she is slowly slipping away more and more. She was a beautiful woman inside and out, although she does not remember.
Chris, you've made a grown man cry :'(
cant stop crying.... thank u for this song Chris Mann 😢😢
Thank you for helping to raise awareness for Alzheimer's Disease. I have watched a piece of my husband fade away every day for 10 years now from this wretched disease. Our youngest child is 10. She is a huge advocate for a cure and has been since she was 7. It's quite a burden for a child to carry, but she does it ever so gracefully. I believe she will be part of the cure some day. All of the younger people who are fighting this thing are what will bring us to a cure. I'm only 43, but it's probably already too late for my generation to overcome this. Keep fighting. Keep raising awareness. Get involved in walks and fundraising for a cure. We have lost far too many. It needs to end. I'm so sorry that you must endure it.

@@alicesamekbenoit5990 💜💜 so sorry you had to go through that Miss 💜💜 One day I do believe tho we will find a care 🤍🤍
- her daughter
This is so touching, I am losing my mother now by Alzheimer, it is terrible and heartbreaking to see my lovely mother is breaking apart, she was so strong, friendly, helpfull and always happy. She just turned 75, I am her only son and now living with her to take care and it very hard. She still wants to do so many things that are impossible, she still thinks she can do it and it is so hard to try to explain she can not. She always told me that if she will be affected by this horrible disease and had to go to a elderly home she does not want to live anymore, I had to promise that to her and I did. So I am with my back against the wall right now. She does not know that she is sick, maybe a little, I really do not know what to do, it feels like I have to choose between, we can cut your right arm or your left arm. I wish everyone who is in this situation all the best!
She's gone... My grandmother passed away 7-7-20...
RIP Granny💕 :'(
My grandfather passed away from Alzheimers the week before I performed on stage to this song
I love you papa
I lost my love my life my Joy almost one year ago to F.T.D., and early on-set A.D. She was a week shy of her 67th Birthday. She was loved by all that knew her, I was blessed to be loved by her, and I will always remember Joy.
My Late Mother had Alzheimer's. I'm in tears, this is a very emotional song.
Already crying from 'Bridge Over Troubled Waters, UA-cam recommends this. Like a baby I weep. My Grandma is 95, diagnosed w dementia at 89. I haven't seen her in several yrs, she was supposed to be here 24, May, for my mother (her daughter's 80th), but coronavirus prevented that happening. We've just learned she's refusing to eat, drink, health deteriorating. I think she's given up! I just wanted one final moment w her, a hug, a smile. I am happy she's in good hands w my aunt.
Thanks for this, late though I am. Chris, you are a gem ..
As a side note, I read, liked almost every single comment that hadn't been prior. None should go unnoticed. My family is where most of you are/ were. I wanted to acknowledge this shared pain. 💔
My grandpa passed away from Alzheimers when I was 2 years old. So I don't really remember him, but my mom told me that when we went to visit him in the nursing home, he had a drawer full of candy, and I would always look forward to visiting him because he would let me have a few pieces.❤ My mom also says, that if he was still with us, he would take me out for icecream everyday. My mom says he was the sweetest person in the world. I really wish I had memories of him, but all I have are his pictures. I miss you, Grandpa.❤
My Dad died from Alzheimers. Thank you for this song.
Shared, for my beautiful amazing mom who doesn't have too many of her memories left, so I am holding onto them for both of us. Also, for the other residents of the most incredible caring environment where my mom is cared for with such tenderness and compassion and love. That means more to me than I can say. As is said of this disease - the heart remembers what the mind forgets - and I know my mom's heart does remember. I love you, Mom, always and forever, you are the best.
I'm so sorry that your family has been impacted by this horrible disease. I know that Cure Alzheimer's Fund are working hard to find a cure---together we CAN beat this disease.
Chris Mann Music,
❤💝❤" Thanks ! " ❤💝❤
I more than understand what you're saying 😢, I'm getting up in age, and I have only one son, good guy, but he's afriad of hospitals, and hate to admit when time changes a person, he see me as his mother when I was working 16 hr days as a bus operator ❗ Now that I'm retired, I don't like hearing songs like this, because he might give up on me when I'm in a state of mind like this song 😢❗
But, it's a beautiful song, and your voice is amazing ‼️💝💪🤴
And the woman post I'm applying to, you're beautiful for taking care of your mother ❗👸🥂💃💪

I was a caregiver to a lady who had Alzheimer's. To the familes, take a breath and take each day as it comes. When it gets too much, and it will, when you have someone who helps and you need to take a step back, allow yourself a moment or two. You need it. If you are the only one helping the loved one, take your moment when it is safe to do so. Its ok.
That's right Melissa, God bless you.
We need energy for nursing, yeah.. isn't easy. Tnx for the advice

Grandad, I will not show my hurt to you if you don't remember me- but at the end of our journey I will be broken forever; I love you always and in unbelievable amounts
I lost my dad not long ago. It was heart breaking. In the end he only knew my mom!! I cried everyday, when he asked, who was i!!
This hit very close to home. You know when you are crying and you have to stop, compose yourself, before continuing? That was me with your beautiful song.
my mother just past on from alzheimer's. she was 63. I am 27. I was able to be married 5 months before her passing. Miss her so very much.
Ill always remember her. RIP Mom
I lost my precious dad to dementia. When he passed he did not know me. That is when all you have left are the memories. May as many joyful ones you can in this life.
literally living this nightmare right now with my nana. breaks my heart so much she thinks she remembers everything but every 20 minutes we get the same story she told 20 minutes prior. within 5 minutes shes forgotten what shes said...her memory is going so quick😢
Same here
i'm so sorry. My dad's mom was a really sharp badass all my life, and then the last time i saw her, she couldn't really talk, and she couldn't eat or bathe without direction and assistance. She was my mom's partner in crime, and they LOVED each other like sisters for decades, but she suddenly decided my mom was this evil enemy. It was so hard on my mom to lose her best friend that way - gone way before she died. Then 13 years later my mom got Alzheimer's too. It was the one thing in life she feared most. She would get so scared and sometimes would cry and say she wanted to die. I had no help, no advice. But i did learn a few things from my grandmother's disease:
Don't argue with an Alzheimer's sufferer about things they have totally wrong. If they think someone who is dead is still alive, just go with it, because the most important thing is to maintain a positive emotional climate. If you tell someone every week that their husband is dead, they may forget, but down inside that painful truth has left a residue of pain they can't comprehend. We told our grandma her husband was fishing and would be gone for a while, but not to worry. It's never ok to lie to people, but there is a time for everything, and i believe this is the one instance where damage would not be done by keeping the pain away. When a person advances in Alzheimer's, they become more confused, and communication is very difficult. Just keep things positive. Find happy things for them to feel and see and hear.
It's important to try and know what things has always made that person happy. My mom loved little children and animals and certain singers. But the singers probably reminded her of my dad, who she always regretted divorcing. So playing that music turned out to be a bad idea. So i pulled out the great youtube videos with cute toddlers and animals, and she would be in heaven. I made her chocolate chip pancakes with blueberry syrup every day, and let her eat it with her fingers. ANYTHING SHE WANTED. There wee good days adn the worst bad days i could imagine. When something bad happened, i'd make jokes about it, grab a cup of coffee for her, and have her sit whiel if fixed the problem, while just laughing it off and just making it fun.
It's a terrible, cruel disease that hurts everyone, but there is no reward greater than being able to be there for someone from it, and knowing that they got to feel loved and positive during a time that would otherwise be hellish.
I'm 57 and already starting to show signs that i may get Alzheimers. I don't have children or grandchildren. Whoever cares for me will have an easier job if i make it known what kinds of things make me happy. And i recommend it for anyone, no matter what will take them from the earth one day.
Be there for your loved one. It will make you stronger for the next challenges in life, and you will not be perfect at it, but you WILL be doing the work of an angel.
Its so hard... I understand it completely.. My grandpa was talking to people that weren't in the room less than 3 weeks before he passed. Unfortunately he passed really tragically in a nursing room from some neglect.
I lost my wonderful husband on February 21st this year due to this horrendous disease after 12 or more years of struggle. Life is SO different now....BUT.....I will NEVER lose the memories we shared! Someday we will be together again. ❤️
I think I started crying at the first note 😢
Dearest Chris - thank you for this beautiful song. Thank you for bringing this disease to the forefront. It was a little hard to get through and did leave me in tears. but that is ok. Your voice is amazing and in this song very soothing.
I am 69. Everyday I fear I of 'it'. I don't normally worry, but my mom was only 68 when she started showing signs of Alzheimer's. My mom was the strongest most intelligent woman I knew. She graduated with a Masters in Math in the 1920's and she was as strong as an ox! I could never keep up with her when she walked. She tirelessly raised 5 and ran a household and a family business pretty much on her own. She was aware that something was happening and would often comment on her forgetfulness. By 72 she was forgetting everything and pretty much everyone We kept her in her home as long as we could but my dad would get frustrated and inpatient with her and we were seeing some signs of abuse. One night she had a varicose vein pop in her leg. Dad was asleep and not knowing what to do or what was happening, she wandered the house. Finally my dad woke up and called my brother who called 911. The house literally looked like 20 people had been murdered in there. The paramedics were surprised she was still alive and she did recover We relocated her to am Alzheimer's facility (which was a plan prior to this accident). I'd go visit and the entire time we would walk around the property. She never sat still. Even though she did not remember me, the constant walking was a sign that she was still there somewhere. The last time I visited her there she just sat. I left and cried for hours.. at that point, I knew she was no longer there. She stopped eating, they took her to the hospital and we asked that they let her pass. We all believed that her stopping to eat was her way of saying she was tired and wanted to go. She lived to 85. To this day I wished that I had not gone to the hospital to see her. She was restrained to the bed and her expression was that of confusion and a very scared child. This is a HORRIBLE disease. My hope would be that NO ONE ever has to go through it with a loved one. We are told keep active, keep our brain active. Well... my mom was more than active extending to chopping and stacking wood, she had a master's degree, and she read every night. So what is the answer? I don't know, but I do know I need to get past the worry!!
I wish I could"ve found this song when my grandmother was first diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease. It was a really tough time, and it still is, but knowing that many people care about finding a cure really makes it a little bit easier to go through life. I could barely stop crying by the end of this video, and it was the first time I let myself cry for a very long time. Thank you.
My Aunt had this horrible disease, God bless her, Aunt Margie Rest in Eternal Peace🌹
Hysterical and in tears. Lost my mom to Alzheimer’s in august 2021. Horrible devastating illness that robs the person of everything.
For my grandma whos dying from this dieases. We just sent her to a more intensive care facility , shes thinking shes a child at the moment. It breaks my heart to say a very proud and outspoken women woth a brave heart go through this. I love you grandma to the moon and back.
Only 50 seconds in and already crying. My grandpa passed 2 weeks ago with dementia and I’m reflecting on all the memories with him
I just recently lost my grandmother, who suffered from dementia and Alzheimer's. We played a video tribute at her funeral and used this song during pictures of her and her grandkids. Thank you so much for this beautiful song.
My papa was diagnosed with Alzheimer's when I was 14. We caught it very early but it's been a long hard 12 years taking care of him. I love him so much but I do struggle to remember who he was before and I miss the man I remember. This song has reminded me not to despair and to keep taking care of him, loving him, and remembering him.
There are no words for this. I am very moved.
Thx Teri glad you enjoy. Share to help raising awareness
We just got the news my grandma whos raised me is in the last stages of Alzheimer's. They are giving her at most 2 years to live if god is on our side. Ive done nothing but cried, its this pain that i have felt like nothing before. My family thanks you for this song and raising awareness
Watching this video on What would have been my precious and adored Grammy’s 90th birthday tears are pouring down my face as I remember one of the last things she ever said to me before this horrible disease took her away forever “ please don’t cry because I might not remember your name or who you are to me anymore, know that I love you I know you’re not some stranger, so please please don’t cry.” She’s been gone almost 10 years now and I miss her so much. I wish she could see the women my daughters have grown to be and how I try to honor her every day and most of all that she is definitely not forgotten. Rip gram.
My own mother died hardly remembering me our my older sisters....it's devastating.....
My mom died couple days ago of early onset dementia, in less than two years she went from fully functional to a new born baby, it broke my heart when she looked at me and had no idea who I was.
Definitely hits close to home. My Mom has Alzheimer's and it's just devastating to watch a parent disappear from you right before your eyes. Thanks for trying to raise awareness. Will do my part.
Thx for sharing to help!
I do not mean to sound inconsiderate, but please do not say we "disappear"; we ALL change. You will change also, Nancy. Almost certainly not to the extent that I as a 54year old dementia patient will change. But aspects of your personality, abilities and interests will change. The change in my 2-yr-old grandson will probably come much closer to my expected change in my next years. But he does not disappear -- he changes. Terminology can be very important and terms like "disappear", "gone", and "vacant" contribute to the perception that no Person exists any longer; only a shell. That is often a theory, but far from a proven theory, and contributes to the thought that we should suicide while we still have the ability, in order to prevent unneeded financial & energy drain on our loved ones. If we are not "there" then suicide only makes sense. In contrast, then if we are present, you are motivated to continue looking for those moments when our "person" peeks from behind the curtain of disease, ... & sparkles. But if you are not looking ... you will miss the moment. Please look for us. :D -- Tru
truthfulkindness Not taken as inconsiderate at all. This situation is a learning experience, and has been difficult to adjust to. I will probably continue to use words to express my thoughts that might be construed as inconsiderate or thoughtless. I'm not ignorant, but I'm not going to worry about hiding my feelings or run scared that I might offend. I wish you much courage in your journey. I've met a few younger dementia patients, and their strength has astounded me and given me hope.
Nancy Giovannini Thank you for not taken offense & good for you to continue expressing your feelings. So very very important. In fact having a bit of a hard time myself just now. Truthful's Tuesday blog :The Hole in my Impulse-Control wp.me/p4OwSi-mm . Keep on keepin-on :D -- Tru
I know this is an old thread but I've just found this song. I just wanted to say Nancy I understand what you meant my watching your mum disappear. People with dementia go back to an earlier time in their life. In their minds they are maybe in their 20s or 30s. They might not even be married yet or have children. While your mum is still their just locked away. It's different and I get it ❤️❤️
Thank you Chris. I assume you may have some connection to this cruel disease, to inspire you to write this. It's a gift to those of us who have lived with it. My dad's mom and my own mom both had it. They were best friends. I was mom's hospice caregiver. It almost destroyed me, while simultaneously being the most important,. rewarding challenge of my life. I may very well be next, so i already know what i want people to know before it happens. Mom loved the song by Glen Campbell about his own suffering, but now there are more beautiful pieces of music dedicated to the sufferers and their loved ones. Yours is especially touching, and your voice is indescribably beautiful. Thank you.
I have been a nursing assistant for 20 years this song perfectly sums it up
My grandpa, my world was just diagnosed and he is slipping so fast. It's taking him so quickly. His sister was diagnosed and passed quickly, his brother is now and so is my sweet grandpa 😢. I don't wish this in anyone. Watching someone slip away while still hear is the most heart wrenching thing.
It's killing me.. Last November my Grandma died because of Alzheimer, she already got it since 4 years, so it got quiet normal. We knew that she won't have a long life anymore since 2013, when she forgot who we all are and she sometimes thaught that she's a child again and cried, because she thaught that (her daughter) my Mom is her mother which is angry with her. It was really sad to see her slipping away...
And then in a english lesson a few month ago: I was just thinking, why we weren't visiting her so long. A few minutes later I recogniced the mistake... I never really got over it, even if I didn't cried once about it.
All in all: It's a beautiful song which touches heart and soul. Greatings from Germany and best wishes to all the others that lost somebody
I'm not the greatest at social media, but I hope someone out there will forward/tag/share this on there accounts to let the world know that we haven't forgotten about the beautiful souls lost to this disease.
This is beautiful i cant stop crying my grandfather passed away from Alzheimer's almost 2 years ago
Thank you for posting this song. I'm only 60 years old, yet my forgetting things, which led my wife to get me a dyignosis ( sorry forgot how to spell the word). Thank all of you for sharing personal experiences. Thank you Chris Mann. As they used to say in my day, "You have great Pipes". God Bless all of you.
this has made me cry. I know in my heart I will experience this with my mother. God please help me and those who are dealing with this.....
Thank you so much for this beautiful song. I've lost my grandmother, an uncle, and an aunt to this terrible disease. It is so heartwrenching watching the know fade from their eyes. This song helps me remember the people they were and it makes me cry. Thank you for raising awareness and making contributions for treatment and research. This song says so much, yet the choreography tells so much more. A wonderful tribute to the many people who are affected by this. Again, thank you so much.
I just lost my mother to Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. This was beautiful and really touched my soul ! Thank you Chris 🙏🏻🙏🏻💞💞
Grandfather Al now has dementia and he is aware of less every day. We all love him and are extremely sad. A couple weeks ago he was trying to make a book of the things that had happened to him through his life. He wanted my help, but we didn't get much down. I wish I had tried harder, because now he isn't really interested anymore. Now, he doesn't call me by my correct name anymore and my grandmother (Who is still healthy) is lonely and taking care of him. They live in an elderly living home, and we can't visit them because it is on lockdown because of the pandemic. My grandfather is 92 years old, and is incredibly lucky to have lived this long. Reading all of your stories is heartbreaking and I'm so sorry, I am crying right now
I lost my mother to Alzheimers and just yesterday, my grandfather. He was a WW2 vet. 7 purple hearts. Will be playing this song at his funeral. Thank you and God bless.
This song is beyond beautiful. I have early onset of dementia. I am 47 with MS and I am so scared I will start forgetting those I love
I work with people with Alzheimer's and Dementia so I see everyday the struggle they go through and their families as well. Beautiful song for a beautiful voice. Thank you so much for this :)
This hits hard - my grandad is currently fighting Alzheimer’s disease and is in a care home( he can’t remember me). It hurts to see him hurting and forgetting but I’m staying strong for him , myself and my family ❤️
I lost my great grandmother in 2020 whom I was very close to do to Dementia. I was the only family member she never forgot. She must’ve felt the same love I felt. Dementia is definitely one of the many devastating ways to die no matter how old you are. I hold Dementia tributes near and dear to my heart.
It has been one year now since I lost my Mom. She passed with Alzheimer's. I remember her. OFTEN. Thank you!

💓🤗💓" Sincere condolences to you.
We are part of our mothers and it is easier as it goes for awhile and now I look at her photos and miss the feeling of being just near her. She has been gone for twenty seven years. Take care of yourself through this phase of life. God bless you ! "
I lost my Grandfather to this disease. Now my aunt, his daughter, has been diagnosed and she is slipping away. I am so scared my mother might also one day be diagnosed, or my brother or myself.
Chris sing to those that have lost they need to remember, love is real its not just a fairy tale or a story lost in time. I am real and so was he.
For my beautiful, kind mother. I was her caregiver for three years and she just moved to memory care. I know she is in good hands and we spend much time together but I miss being with my best friend everyday. I will always remember her how she was~beautiful, vibrant and caring.
I can’t stop crying because my grand father died from Alzheimer’s August of 2017 and I had not seen him for 6 months before he passed
When I need a good, cathartic cry I come watch this video. I lost my mom in April to this slow, torturous disease after our 8 year "journey" (she was diagnosed at 63 years old). Yes, mom, I will remember you!!
Beautiful song!! Thank you so much!!
This reminds me of when I had depression two years ago. I used to listen to this song all the time.
I have looked and looked for this song for 2.5 years. This song kept me going through my hospital experience, when I left. I could not remember the song but I found it. Thank the lord
I purchased the song, my great grandma had alzheimer's disease before she died, it was hard to see her, and not be recognized. Excellent work on this great song, and thank you for supporting such a great cause.
Thx becky!
Single, best song, of my 42 years of life.
This song needs to go viral.
I am a cna in a memory unit. I watch everyday my residents slip away, can't find their voice. I love working there. I am their voice. This song hits me.
I needed something to help me grieve, and this song is so good. Thank you. My beloved Omi (grandma) is slipping away little by little, and the grief comes in waves. It hit hard today again. So thank you for getting it. I do not grieve without hope - Omi loves Jesus, and she will go to Heaven - but oh, the agony of loving her through this.
Tears are streaming down my face, as this reminds me of my mother who passed from Alzheimers almost four years ago now. It was so sad to watch her as her memories faded.
Thank you for this beautiful song. I discovered it by accident last summer, and today we played it at Nan's funeral. She had been suffering from Dementia and Alzheimer's Disease for 11 years. Rest in peace Nan. We'll always remember you ❤
Thank you for making this Song! My stepfather was diagnosed with Alzheimers age 55 and died 23. february 2020 age 60. Seeing him lose his self day by day to the point where everything he was was locked up inside of him or gone. It was the hardest thing to deal with but for him it must have been a complete nightmare. So thank you for writing this song and raising awareness with it. I will always remember him for the great father and friend he was. As soon as it's allowde to hold his memorial service, this song will be played at it.
*So sad, but anyone who has looked after a loved one with dementia will know how hard it is physically and mentally. My heart goes out to anyone/everyone affected by Alzheimer/Dementia. A huge shout out to any caregiver doing this alone! I feel your journey. I feel your pain because I've been there. My mom was also diagnosed in her 60s. Feeling absolutely shattered, heartbroken and drained , working with different physicians across the country with little or no improvement. I was exhausted and overwhelmed to look any further. Crying a lot through frustration, anger and despair, But today with the help of Homeocure Worldwide Natural Medicine, my mother is completely healthy and well again. I think we only need more support and sunlight to overcome this dreadful disease. Search for support regardless and don't stop until you get it. With Homeocure Worldwide treatment, there is hope, don't give up!

Stunning singing and what a thoughtful and touching tribute to what used to be. Alzheimers and Dementia are so destructive and tragic 😥
At times, this life hurts so badly.
I don’t really cry to much songs, but the thought of my loved ones getting dementia just made me start bawling. Dementia is a sick and disgusting disease. Thank you for making this song.
So Beautiful, powerful, sad, heartfelt and true. How can you not cry. Sharing. Chris, you are soooo talented!!!
Oh no I subbed my heart out, I've been caring for people suffering from dementia for 22yrs amazing song.
My grandmother didn't have Alzheimer's, but she had similar symptoms and I always think of the person she was before she lost herself... ❤️ It's heartbreaking to see someone you love disappear piece by piece, cherish every moment you have together and for the rest of your life you can always come back to the memories of who they once were. ❤️
Beautifull you did this song for all the people with this horrible disease..
My mother suffered from Alzheimer's and now my mother-in-law has it. This sing hits home and it hits HARD.
God bless all that are and had gone thru this with a close one.....❤❤❤
Love this song but, remembering my Mother, it makes me cry every time.
I just heard this song for the first time and fell apart. My ma was diagnosed with dementia and she's quickly slipping away. Music always played a major role in our lives and I'm very thankful for this song. My question is to anyone who has been diagnosed. Should I have her listen to this song? I just don't want to upset her more than she already is. The words of this song are words she says to me all the time. Everytime I look into her eyes I have to stop myself from breaking down. She is a single mother so it's always just been her and I. She has been my hero and always will be. If anyone can please help me I'll forever be thankful.
the daughter of one of the residents that I take care of played this song for me last night. brought tears to my eyes. Working with those who has Dementia and Alzheimer's can be hard,stressful,and overwhelming.But Its definitely rewarding, and I love every moment of it. For her mother and the other 60+ residents that I have I promise to hold your hands and your hearts. #IWillRemindYou #IWillRememberYou #ForeverAndAlways
Sadly this resident as passed on.. I miss her everyday.

That was beautiful. My father has dementia... he is slipping away and it's heartbreaking.

Chris Mann Music THANK YOU! My heart breaks every time I hear and watch this moving performance. So proud of your accomplishments, Chris. Rooted for you since The Voice!
I played this song for my grandmother, who had lost her mother to Alzheimer's disease. She cried remembering how, before being diagnosed, her
mom had started reading about this disease, knowing that something was wrong. Through your song, she will always be remembered. Thank you.
I am playing this for my grandmothers funeral tomorrow...she fought hard with this disease and I miss her like crazy. The grieving process is so long and painful as you watch your earthly idol slip away. I love you Goosie. Thank you Chris for touching my heart with this song.
Monica Grenz I'm sorry for your loss
I feel like this song works really well with dementia too. My grandma passed away today and this song totally and completely brought the water works ❤
I lost My grandma, my aunt who raised me, and another auntie all within 2 yrs this was the hardest song to hear but thank you
Hi Chris .. I'm recently exposed to your wonderful voice and music. I want to add another thank you for this one. I think of and remember my mom almost daily. She had a Alzheimers and I took care of her for 5 years from onset to final days. Haven't cried in awhile .. I did with good memories of her as I listened to this. Thank you
Thank you for this song, my Mom is almost done with her journey in dementia.
Hi Chris, Remember Me is a beautiful song. Watching my uncle and aunty as they age sure scares the hell out of me as I will face this day one day, Remember me...
My husband died 5 years ago this month from Early Onset Alzheimer’s w/ Lewy Body. He fought from his early 50s to age 65. This is the first time I could listen to this song.
