Late afternoon drifting

I feel you OP, my grandmother, whom I care for 24/7, has worsening dementia and has started calling me by her dead daughter's name, who is my dead mother. It's rough, but they don't mean it. Hang in there!

None of this is fair. But your courage in sharing it? That’s a tiny act of rebellion against the silence. Keep breathing. Keep reaching out. 🌱
