Beautiful words. I have been through some trauma in my life but nursing my gran through dementia when it first hit, has to be one of worst.

I can understand how difficult and heartbreaking that is. My grandma was eventually in a home that specialized in caring for alzheimer patients and passed away there after five years. It was just down the street from where I lived, so I was able to visit her almost daily. Although she didn't remember me most of the time, she loved to be wheeled out into the garden to look at the flowers.
My gran has been in a home for 7 years now, and she is very well cared for. It happened so quickly when the dementia took over but she's as tough as old boots. She's 91 now lol. Shae hasn't been able to speak clearly since a stroke 6 years ago, but at my wedding two years ago, she shouted that she loved me as loud as she could ! It's truly heartbreaking <3
I'm so sorry your gran, and you, have to deal with it - it takes a lot of patience, compassion and strength; and the struggle is real on both ends. I will keep you both in my thoughts and prayers.
