Grandma got really bad towards the end because her mind was failing and she just wasnt feeling herself. There were times when myself or my mom would have to sleep right outside her door so she wouldnt wonder off through the night. and we just tried everything we can to make her comfortable in her own home, even if she didnt recognize us or her home. She was still pleasant with most and you could tell she wouldnt want to be mean. Sadly a lot of caregivers experiance a sort of meaness when taking care of people who have this illness and that is completely normal! It does take some time to get use to and to learn how to handle certain things. But it is always worth it! Because there will be that day or that hour or minute when they REMEMBER and it makes the whole process worth every single thing.
We walk and are so beyond grateful to walk for YOU grandma!
