DEMENTIA and My Little Momma: I'm sharing real life videos & commentary of my mom's life in the memory care unit of a Baton Rouge, Louisiana nursing home. Dementia, they call it "The longest goodbye." But walking this path with momma is painful, scary, sad and lonely. I miss my mom every day even though I'm right by her side.
Note: We are starting at the beginning. When I asked the "My Little Momma" community if I should begin sharing "from the beginning" or "where mom is now," it was overwhelming that I should start from the beginning.
My Little Momma had a massive bleeding stroke in 2012. The recovery was brutal...and incomplete. MY MOM never truly returned. The blood from that stroke killed all the brain cells that it touched. What it left behind was not my mom. She looked and sounded like my mom. But it wasn't my mom.
Dementia is actually easier, and yet it is so hard. Join us as we walk this sad journey with My Little Momma.
