Hi everyone can you pray for my Grandma scheuermann she has dementia. Me and my mom are at my aunt's house were my grandma and grandpa is. She isn't doing so good and is very angry all the time and been really abusive verbally toward my grandpa and my parents. She is so use to be in control of everything but since her dementia she been just angry and confused. :sad

Dear Father, You've heard the plea for help from this sister in Christ, and I add my voice to hers that You provide the healing, or the peace that needs restored. Bless this family as they attempt to provide the help she needs in her illness, and I give you the praise and honor for it in Jesus' name. Amen.
 
Yes, we will be praying. Dementia is hard on those close to the person who has it, and even harder on the person themselves. My very good lifelong friend, Julie, just watched her dad with dementia go downhill and die over the last few months and it was tremendously hard for both of them. You have our prayers for your grandma as well as for your strength and peace through all of this.
 
Thank you guys yeah yesterday was hard. :sad she lives with my aunt and uncle's and when she saw us coming she thought we were going to take her home and she kept saying she her kids needed her. But all of her kids are grown :sad she just got angry

Will do. I'm so sorry this has transpired.
 
Hi guys she's doing ok. He has her ups and downs. It's still hard to be patient with her though. The other day for some reason she got angry with my aunt's granddaughter (she is 6 ) the other day my mom and aunt was helping my grandpa with his wheelchair as we were in the van and my Grandma was blocking me and my lil cousin idk what she was doing but when my cousin just sat in the seat she was in my Grandma pushed her kinda rough and I had enough and just yelled at my Grandma... she has been mean to my cousin before and was rough with her before but I just felt I had to stay something. Was shaking after word because I never done that before. :sad
 
Hi
I understand it must be very difficult when it is family.
Try to remember that the person is not doing it on purpose. Their brain is being broken down and it can affect different areas depending on where the damage is. It can effect not only memory, but language abilities, impulse control abd feelings Anger and accusations is very common.

I currently work with people with severe dementia. I don't know if the same applies for the earlier stages, but I find that when they get angry, it is best to stop talking with them and retreat (to a different place in the room, or a different room) , and if there are others present, let them try to lead the conversation to something else. If their memory span is short, you can enter the room a few minutes later and they will be smiling and greeting you again.
