Of course there is life and there is death.
The difference between old age and dementia can be easily determined when a specialist tests and diagnoses.
If you think there is no difference between dementia and senility, you are lucky that you are not surrounded by family members who have it.
There is no point in arguing with such a person, and I suggest you check with a specialist. The hardships and sacrifices of the family members around the dementia patient as well as the caregivers are tremendous. Of course, if the patient is placed in a nursing home, the burden of caregiving may be lightened, but it is financially difficult. To say that dementia is nothing compared to cancer patients is misguided, as dementia is something that patients and their families want to avoid, no matter what the disease. The reality is that the probability of dementia increases as we get older. I think it is important for people around us to understand and help them,

It must have been very difficult for MITA. Her personality is getting more and more destroyed and she doesn't even recognize you anymore. The last one needs 24 hours of care. No, they say 48 hours of care is necessary.

By the way, have you considered putting her in a nursing home? Or are you in one near your daughter now? But the cost would be enormous. I wonder, while you are married, can't you get Medi-Cal support because of your income, savings, etc.?

My mother suffered a stroke in her mid-70s, and since then she has rapidly become a blur. Fortunately, her physical decline came at the same time, so she was a quiet old blur in a wheelchair.

I didn't try to determine whether she had dementia or not. （ There was no point. ） Even so, I lived in a nursing home for about five years. But I lived in a nursing home for about 5 years, and because it was in the countryside of Japan, the monthly rent was a little over 100,000 yen. I heard that the family members around the person with dementia who can move are very hard to deal with.

My goal is to live a long and healthy life （ and die a happy death ）.
