Dementia’s Cruel Kiss

Dementia’s Cruel Kiss

There were clearly things lost

within himself

quite unlike any puzzle or maze

he had previously

   known or ever got lost in before ..

I know what I know

   and I know what I saw, he said ..

Yet still, I’m not able

   to make sense of them no more ..

I have 11 anthrax shots. Effecting my memory. Dementia is a common illness for us old soldiers. It is sad to lose your memories. I watched my dear grandparent. Lose their memories. Thank you Neville for sharing the amazing poetry and your thoughts.

its hard to forgive them for doing that .. I had a massive cocktail but was never told what it contained .. I do know most couldn't walk straight for days yet were forced to go on a route march .. thank you for sharing that part of you Coyote .. Neville

When a loved one suffers with dementia, we all suffer. What may be crystal clear in their mind is just another reason to doubt your own sanity in yours.
I know not the reason behind it and perhaps it is to save their mind from a worse fate, but what I do know is that dementia is a complete b***h and I pray to a god I don't believe in that it stays the hell away from me!
