[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am still trying to process it all. It happened so quickly. He went from meeting us for holiday shopping to an alternative reality in a month. The delusions and paranoia my dad experienced were so intense and pervasive. The repeated calls trying to solve problems that didn't exist. I hate that his last few months were spent chasing a reason for his sudden onset of dementia, that we didn't get to come to terms with it. It was so hard trying to love my father through the frustration of the anxiety and paranoia. But maybe it was a blessing that when it came time to say goodbye we knew that his old life didn't exist any more. [/quote] That is so sad. I wish you peace and comfort. For others reading this who may see sudden declines in a loved one, it's worth checking for a UTI, which can cause major cognitive changes in seniors. Not saying that's what happened to PP's father, but a general note of something to rule out.[/quote]
