Grandmother is dying?

[KimuraWannabe116]

My grandmother is not doing well... she has had dementia for several years but the last couple of months it has gotten way more serious. She isn't eating or sleeping, she is not taking her medication and she has lost a ton of weight, down to about 76 lbs. I just needed to post this because I love her very much. But I think this could be the beginning of the end for her :( :( :(

I feel for you. I live with my grandma and I can't imagine something more horrific. I hope the best for you and grandma. :/ Praying.

I feel for you. My grandma passed away about a year ago, after being in a hospital bed for around a year. Stay strong, and try to do everything you can with her. Sucked for me because i live half way around the world from my family. If you live close, visit as often as you can. It may sadden you, but you will not regret it after she dies, if she does.

I just found out based on a post from my aunt on Facebook. I am pretty sure my dad is not aware of this yet since he doesn't use Facebook, and that my grandmother had completely deteriorated in just a month's time that he hasn't had the chance to be in contact with his sisters. So tomorrow I will break the news to him so that we might be able to visit them.

And also by the sound of the way my aunt described it, it seems to be urgent. They called the doctor not long ago, but they say that the earliest she can come in is in 3 weeks, and by the sound of it, she doesn't have 3 weeks so they decided that if it gets any worse, she will need to go to the ER immediately. But the problem is that she is so oppositional, that it is an a exhausting task for them to get her to go anywhere, she is always saying the opposite thing that others are saying.

Sorry to here about your grandma.

I am so sorry, we will always support you and help you. Who knows, maybe the next place after this is better than here, and she will be young and strong again? I don't know. Maybe, maybe not.

I'm so sorry to hear about this.
I work part time at a senior independent living community (old people's home), and although it can be a very sad thing to see, it is my opinion and observation through my work that you should spend as much time with her as possible before she passes away. If you do so, I promise you that you won't regret it, but if you don't, you may regret not spending her final lucid moments with her.
Dementia patients are all different in their quirks as their dementia progresses, but one that nearly always seems to be present is the resisting and procrastinating that you described.
Nobody is quite sure why, but many dementia patients seem to almost revert back to child-like actions and reflexes in the final stages of the disease.
Please don't hesitate to PM me if you ever need somebody to talk to about her disease. :)
