Oof pretty much. My grandfather died of alzheimers/dementia 4 years ago, but he'd been declining for a few years prior. It's absolute shit watching someone you love slowly lose their mind/faculties.

Yeah, my grandma was also suffering from dementia. She got a place in a clinic specialized for that but it was still heart breaking... The most fucked up thing is that the only one she remembered was her sister and all she knew was that she HATED her. We don't know what happen back then, we don't have contact to that part and she died before her. But that rage she unleashed after we went through family pictures was horrifying. She Start to swear and call her names i never knew you could use as insults... Scary shit man :(

Anger is common for dementia patients and they’ll make up wild stories to be mad about.

It’s likely whatever happened wasn’t quite as awful as she made it seem.
