Down a rabbit hole of looking at videos of my Nanna and Bamps. It took me years to be able to watch them without feeling so sad. Now I look back at them and am just so grateful that I have them. I saw this video and almost can’t believe how long it took me to accept my Nanna had dementia. My mother had been drip feeding the suggestion of it to me for months, if not years before I finally accepted it 🥺 It’s a cruel disease but I still say we were lucky that even at the very end, there were still parts of my Nanna still there and it didn’t take her completely. We definitely made the most of a bad situation and even she laughed at herself a lot, which is all you can do I guess? I’ve been crying laughing at this video tonight - they were the best double act and I hope they’re having a whisky together somewhere tonight as they always did before bed ❤️💙 #dementia #vasculardementia #missedeveryday❤️ #nannaandbampa

My grandma had dementia, though my grandads health declined first. My grandma like yours, still had her personality and witt all the way through. I miss them both dearly but my memories (like what you've shared of yours) means so much!

My grandad was like this for years to be fair he’s always been a bit line it but I put it down to his loopy behavior and then age. He died of dementia a few years after my nan unexpectedly passed away. Who was so much like your nan by the way. It’s not until seeing this that maybe there were some early signs too xx
