This seemed like a good one to post considering this commercial time of year!
One of my sisters suggested that our mom has dementia as opposed to Alzheimers. They are different, both bad. Lately, she doesn't seem able to get dressed by herself. It is depressing. She is 76.

Now what would you do with all that money ??
Somehow I think I would be giving a great deal of it away.
If you are both worried about your Mother Christine it might be an idea to get a referral to a gerontologist to see if they can come up with an answer to her aging problem

Yes, it is surely very hard to deal with both dementia and Alzheimers, and to see how people 'disintegrate'. Wish you all a lot of strength! Valerie
Really sad about your mom.Sometimes my dad is like he has dementia I dont know.
Hope you are ok Christine@
I could happily live for the rest of my life on one million dollars. I've already budgeted it. With proper investment I could probably do less than that. I'm really sorry to hear about your mum. My stepdad is starting to have memory issues and he's only 64.
I'm so sorry about your mom, Christine. It's heartbreaking.
It is depressing to see one's mother decline mentally and physically especially at such a young age. 76 is young.
I think my grandmother had Alzheimers
she has been seeing a gerontologist for years Cathy thanks.
wow and I thought 76 was early
thanks Martha
Thanks Gloria
thanks Valerie
I guess it can happen at any age
Only 76, I'm so sorry. That is depressing.
Sorry to hear about your mom's troubles. In the end it probably doesn't matter what the exact diagnosis is.
I think I could make do with a smidge less than 500 mil, although I wouldn't turn it down... I am very to hear about your mom's illness. I hope there's something that will help her.
Dementia isn't as bad as Alzheimr's. I just can't spell today. sigh. Feeling sick, coughing again.
My ex-fiance's partner has Early Onset Dementia. This is heartbreaking.
Dementia is simply the body starting to regress.
Look for the opportunities for love and the diamonds every day.
You can give some quick pen and paper tests to check for dementia symptoms.

Just love her. Make sure she is safe. My dad's brain tumour gave him some awful dementia, anger, and agitation. Contact me if I can help further. I have the t-shirt. Well, wrote the book!
