Today, at my grandmother's funeral, my senile grandfather kept asking me "Where's granny? I've been looking for her, but I can't find her." FML

Today, my grandmother yet again asked where my grandfather is. She refuses to believe us when we tell her that he passed away 6 years ago. She always insists that he's out cheating on her and accuses us of lying to cover his arse. FML

Today, while at my aunt's funeral, my grandma who has terrible memory loss asked me whose funeral we were at. I had to explain to her that her daughter had died. FML

Today, at my grandparent's funeral, we were waiting for the pastor. He was fashionably late because he couldn't find his sunglasses and had gone to buy new ones. FML

Today, I went to a family funeral. Talking to my grandfather, trying to chitchat, he said, "You're gaining weight, aren't you?" FML

Today, after my 5-year-old finally got over his grandmother's death, we went to a store and saw a lady that looked exactly like her. She came up to us asking if we saw her grandson; I can't get my son to stop freaking out. FML

Today, my grandpa died. I called my grandma to make sure she was going to be fine. After talking over the phone for 30 minutes or so, I told her goodbye and said, out of habit, "Say hi to grandpa for me". FML

Today, I told my grandmother I was planning a trip to take my newborn son to meet his great-great-grandfather before it was too late. She had a guilty expression on her face. My great-grandfather died 4 months ago and my family forgot to tell me. FML

Drama alert

Today, I went to visit my grandparents, as my grandmother may not have long left. When my stepfather wasn't grilling my visibly uncomfortable grandad about Bible passages, my mother was trauma-dumping about how hard her life has been, and how awful her marriage to my father was. They're his parents. FML

Thats so sad, Im so sorry for your loss. Like others have said may get your grandfather tested for Alzheimers - Ive had a grandmother with it, and my other grandmother had minimal short term memory loss. My aunt is losing her short term memory - she cant remember her husband passing away 2 years ago

How sad. My grandpa was senile in the end, and very sick, but he too kept looking for my grandmother. I know it sounds bad to say you should lie to your grandfather, but I used to say "that's okay grandpa, I'll go find her." and then go fetch him a cup of tea or something, and be gone for a few minutes. He sometimes forgot that he'd asked about her. I'm sorry for your loss OP. Hang in there. There are brighter days ahead

So very sad. This is why my research is focused on understanding and ameliorating neurodegenerative conditions. I hope one day my work will help. I'm sorry for your loss, and the sadness that comes with a family member with dementia.

Today, after spotting my ex-boyfriend's truck in a desolate parking lot, I decided to "decorate" the muddy side of it with a rather large male appendage. After checking around me to make sure there were no witnesses, I got to work. I probably should have made sure he wasn't sitting in the truck. FML
