Death takes someone away once; dementia can take them away piece by piece while they’re still standing in front of you.
The cruelest part can be grieving someone who is still alive—mourning memories they can no longer reach, conversations they can no longer follow, and sometimes even the person they used to recognize in the mirror.
It can feel like saying goodbye a thousand times, with no funeral to mark the end.
Death is cruel. Dementia is the torture of losing someone slowly, while your heart keeps hoping they’ll come back.
