[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] You're experiencing grief for the person she used to be, OP. My 73 year old father was a super functional and confident person until the pandemic lockdowns, and emerged from them anxious and forgetful, and we think, in the very early stages of dementia. It's a shock seeing him unsure of himself, bedeviled by OCD and germophobia, and refusing to budge from the rigid routines he created these past few years. This happened to my mom as well. It’s so heartbreaking. She’s not the same person at all anymore, dementia that started during pandemic lockdowns, now she’s very frail. It breaks my heart. She’s only 75, and I always expected that I would get to enjoy her company for at least another 10 years - especially when I would have time to spend without little kids, just her and me. It’s hard and makes me very sad. [/quote][/quote]
