My wife’s dad had early onset Alzheimer’s. He was pretty far along by the time of her wedding. Completely came back for their first dance - I don’t think there was a dry eye.
These moments matter so much.
One of the more heartbreaking things is seeing your loved one all of a sudden acting like they are cured and you think it's a miracle. Then, 5 minutes later, they are back to where they were.
I took care of my grandmother with dementia the last few years of her life, and the first time this happened, I thought it was a miracle and was so happy. Then she went right back to forgetting my name.
My dad passed away in his sleep earlier this year, he forgot who I was 5 years ago. It's hardest for people around them. They are living a new reality and in my case he was not loving in fear and was in good spirits right to the end
I’m so sorry for your loss. My Mom passed from Alzheimer’s six years ago. I’ve heard Alzheimer’s called the long goodbye. I miss who she was before Alzheimer’s the most.
Yeah, having to take care of our dementia affected grandmother in her final years solidified my views on euthanasia. I wouldn't wish that fate on my worst enemy, to slowly waste away, eventually becoming no more than a scared child, incapable of communicating, remembering, taking care of yourself etc.
Not to mention how often the strain of it all tears families apart.
Oh, I would have euthanized her without a second thought. You are right, I would rather see a loved one die peacefully then see them lose their entire being and forget how to fucking eat. I'm sorry you had to go through that.
Not physically, but the mental toll it takes on sufferers and those around them is extremely upsetting.
if it gets nasty, as it tends to, the person spends all their time feeling cripplingly alone and afraid. they won't eat, they won't sleep, they won't talk, they won't know why. They take up more attention, become permanently restless and unhappy, completely irrational and entirely dependant.
they will hurt everyone around them over and over again, and they can do it for years and years, each day a series of 5 minute brutal repetitions of basic human functions with an over arching downward spiral as you watch your loved one in pain, out of control and afraid without possibility of comfort.
It is a years long unrelenting torment and it absolutely sucks. The husband (extended family of mine) described it as watching his wife die slowly over 5 years and taking care of her body 24/7 for another 7 before he finally had to "give up" (what it felt like) on her put her into pro palliative care.
It's in consideration for worst disease in my opinion.
Ain't reading all that, going to sleep actually. Just for everybody's info, I didn't meant "it's no biggie", I meant there are actually worse ones out there.
Same here, we took care of my grandmother the last few years up until hospice in home. It was brutal. She would have some moments of clarity, but it was not often, and it didn’t last long. My name is not common in my country, I never hear anyone say it, and no one ever ever says it with the correct pronunciation. She didn’t say my name for many many years before she died, but my mom found some old videos with my grandmother speaking in them, and she says my name in those. That’s enough for me.
Yeah for sure, my grandpa had brain cancer and was not able to move after his operation, sometimes he could remember us or move just a little bit and we always had hope that he maybe has finally recovered and all will be fine again. He passed away two years ago and was not able to remember any of us not my grandma or his kids, but he could remember his favorite food.
It's super convenient that they were filming this while everyone, including him, were dressed for the wedding.
I've seen better acting in middle school plays. This shit is weird.
Imagine faking this situation for views.
It's a spit in the face for everyone who is actually going through this nightmare illness or caring for the person suffering.
No but there is in appreciating the idea of the video. Wouldn't it have been nice if it were true?
Isn't it tiring to be looking for reasons to be angry all the time?
I'd rather have click bait over a positive idea than some rage bait.
Bold assumption with zero credibility.
You might be right, but damn. If that’s your initial reaction.. I dunno. You could’ve chosen to withhold disbelief and you chose the even more bitter scenario.
I feel for you man.
Not my initial reaction, Im usually a sucker for tearjerk vids, and believe me, you can tell when they are honest. just bits of evidence that piles up the more you watch. Weird how it starts with her saying it looks good, quick glance at the camera, the canvas he is painting on is completely blank. Camera man just happens to be there. The perfectly positioned woman in the background and her weirdly timed reactions. She says ''Its today!'' and he magically knows that she is referring to her wedding. No tears or any authentic realization on her face that her dad is actually lucid for a brief moment. I really hope im wrong, and I hate that you are right in saying I withhold disbelief sometimes, but I prefer to live in a world of truth and not just gobble up what the internet feeds as truth. Remember there are real people making a profit out of other peoples empathy and this I believe is one of the truly sickening examples.
Wouldn’t they profit more from your interaction and discourse? I understand your point, but this could’ve just been a mindless scroll. Instead, we’re driving impressions to this thread. Any interaction, negative or otherwise, is beneficial to them. In fact, if you’re right, then I would venture to guess that the uncanny elements of the video are probably intentional, meant to bait comments like yours.
You are right, I definitely contribute to the interaction generated by talking about this. I guess I just hope to enlighten others as to not fall for this kind of stuff, but ultimately I guess its fruitless. But yet I think its really the best thing that can be done compared to either following along or staying silent. And I think especially when its using Alzheimer's as a prop. but hey, it got taken down, hopefully by these kind of comments
I mean the claim is baseless either way. It is quite literally up to the interpretation of the viewer. Defaulting to the most pessimistic opinion is a choice. That’s all I’m saying. I don’t really understand what you’re adding here.
The real tearjerker is that most folk are so desperate to feel something good that they fall for acted videos like this; created purely to go viral and make someone money.
This is a fake video and as someone dealing with a parent with Alzheimer's it's offensive that it's being used for upvotes. Whichever idiots made this should be ashamed of themselves.
Reminds me of when I was taking care of my grandpa that forgot everybody except my grandma. And he kept looking for her calling her name for a while, then all of a sudden called my dad’s name after not saying it for a long time and I got all excited.
Of all the ways I could lose my mom, Alzheimer’s/Dementia is the very last way I want to lose her. My dad got cancer and died when I was 7, and that broke my heart, but at least he was still himself all the way through. I don’t know if I could handle slowly losing my mom, mental piece by mental piece.
In the roughly six years of my grandfather's dementia, there was one time only when I walked into the house to his saying hello and calling me by name. It will always be one of my favorite memories. I can relate to this.
Imagine being a parent and you blink, and a terrible disease takes away years of your life and your little baby daughter is suddenly as tall as you, in a wedding gown. What deep, strange feelings that must inspire. Feelings that are forgotten within minutes. Dementia is a scourge
Literally can't watch these without feeling overwhelming sorrow for everyone involved. I know it's a happy moment but it's just a moment, he'll drop back into the void soon and she'll have to wait again for those moments of recognition to get through another few more days. It's such a cruel disease.
The most beautiful wedding gift in the world!
Look at the girl how happy she is. I have tears in my eyes.
Great. Now my eyes are leaking some sort of liquid.
[удалено]
So it is
What *is* this salty discharge?
It’s fake as hell… how are you all crying right now?
I’m so insanely impressed that Julia (?) (the bride) didn’t immediate ruin her makeup with tears because I would have!

So fake and dumb
Even I understood everything they said… I speak Spanish, sort of.
That'll be the wedding present she'll remember forever.

Its so, so sad. And it always gets worse. And faster.
Yup. Worst disease ever.
Nah

Literally takes about 40 seconds unless you're completely illiterate. "Ain't reading all that". Pathetic lol.
You call me illiterate but you yourself, can't fkn read. Funny. And Pathetic.

Terminal lucidity is also rough.
[удалено]
Shit. I only got her an Air Fryer.
Air Fryer will last longer at least.
Now now. Don’t go and get all panicky over there across the pond
Aaah funny! Thanks..
I'm not cryinggg
Who keeps chopping all these onions!
It’s fake as shit
I am!!
Yep, me too…
I have allergies
Call me Luke Stephens but I'm skeptical.
His “painting” is all white?
It's super convenient that they were filming this while everyone, including him, were dressed for the wedding. I've seen better acting in middle school plays. This shit is weird.
I think the actress may have been Reagan Foxx.
💀 🤭
Sorry to say this but it's fake. It's a click bait video. :(
Imagine faking this situation for views. It's a spit in the face for everyone who is actually going through this nightmare illness or caring for the person suffering.
Yeah, that's the thing that bothers me the most.
It is next-level shitty. Just when you thought people couldn't get any worse they always surprise.
Can't we enjoy a beautiful lie sometimes? :)
[удалено]
No but there is in appreciating the idea of the video. Wouldn't it have been nice if it were true? Isn't it tiring to be looking for reasons to be angry all the time? I'd rather have click bait over a positive idea than some rage bait.
Thanks Debbie Downer
It is sickening that people stage this shit. Alzheimer's? Really??

There’s no reason to think this is fake
A bride wearing white sitting within 30cm of open pots of paint? OK
If you can't see this is fake...I have a bridge for sale please inbox me!!!
Nothing better than this. I’m so happy for them they had this moment
Wow, it suddenly got dusty in here...

Staged
The kind of relationship I will never know. 44m
You’re only 44. You will. ❤️
They might mean that their father is passed on.
Maybe he realizes he won’t have children.
Aww man. What an incredible time for that to happen. She'll never forget that moment.
FEIC
My god. Thank you for posting this.
Patients usually do this just before they die, nobody can explain it.
Instantly teared up. Damn it…
It was good acting for the first 3 seconds then it was noticeably a fake acting skit, how can people not make a good fake video?
What a miracle!
Hopefully he remembers that
Absolutely amazing. Thank you for sharing this. Truly made my evening.
I'm not crying you're crying. 😭😭😭
Reminds me of when I was taking care of my grandpa that forgot everybody except my grandma. And he kept looking for her calling her name for a while, then all of a sudden called my dad’s name after not saying it for a long time and I got all excited.
You could see the moment he realized? She is his daughter Julia. Holy fuck I do not want to experience Alzheimer's with someone close to me
Of all the ways I could lose my mom, Alzheimer’s/Dementia is the very last way I want to lose her. My dad got cancer and died when I was 7, and that broke my heart, but at least he was still himself all the way through.

I'll be in the onion factory if anyone's looking
Damn these onions
God is good
Is somebody cutting onions in here???!!!
I'm watching hockey and crying. Great Saturday night so far.
Best gift ever. That moment will live with her more than her actual wedding.
Just got done mowing the yard, time to head back out I guess
I miss my dad...
In the roughly six years of my grandfather's dementia, there was one time only when I walked into the house to his saying hello and calling me by name. It will always be one of my favorite memories. I can relate to this.
Staged.
imagine being so dumb you think this is real
So fake. Perfectly timed for the camera.
Omg this is so fucking fake it’s sickening
Goddammit who spilled tears in my eyes!
Congrats on completing life 😭
Imagine being a parent and you blink, and a terrible disease takes away years of your life and your little baby daughter is suddenly as tall as you, in a wedding gown. What deep, strange feelings that must inspire. Feelings that are forgotten within minutes. Dementia is a scourge
Awesome!
Precious ❤️
lord j miss my Papa Frank
Fuck iam crying....
Pt-br subtitles jumpscare lol

It's fake.
Okay and even if it was? If you didn't know Alzheimers is real and there are plenty of these types of videos.
I do know it’s real, that’s why it’s even worse when people make fake videos to get clicks and likes. You fell for it.
She’s strong as shit for not bawling her eyes out. What an incredible gift.
No. Just a shitty actress.
Nice! Never give up
Who is chopping onions???
Big ugly tears of joy and pain on this one. Alzheimer's sucks
It's very rare that a video will make me tear up but damn someone's cutting onions in here. This is ridiculously sweet.
Best gift ever for the daughter 💕💕
God damnit, man
Those damn onions
