Hi Farcaster friends. Some personal news: My stepfather is in the advanced stages of Alzheimer's and has just been placed in a memory care home. Fortunately he's in good hands and has the support he needs. Lots to do IRL, so I may be casting less frequently for awhile. Nonetheless, I'm just as much of a Farcaster maxi as ever and will be here when I can. I've made some dear friends here, and I wanted y'all to know why I may be slower than usual (and I'm usually kinda slow anyway... lol) to respond to notifs or DCs. 💜

Follow-up: OMG. I just saw all these supportive comments and now I'm a lil choked up. Sending virtual hugs to every single one of you. 🤗 🥰 I see this thread as an example of the culture of kindness and good will that's been cultivated on Farcaster since the early days. Will return to this thread later!

So sorry to hear. My Grandma from my Ma's side is going through dementia. It's tough losing someone like that. Take all the time you need, and don't be afraid to reach out if you wanna talk. DM's always open. ❤

Sounds like the perfect time to slow down yet more still. Just went through this with my stepfather as well and something magical that we did together was for me to tell him stories about himself. The moments of clarity that it brought on were absolutely wonderful. Wouldn't trade that time for anything.

Thinking of you Danica, I’ve seen dementia take away a lot, and also give a lot. I run a quality of life company for older people (often living with a dementia) and we provide care at home. For what it’s worth, the people and families who suffer most are those that stay fixed and attached to an idea of a person. Those that can be in the moment with whatever is happening, embracing the other persons world, supporting them where they are, going to their place of strength (often accessing the past, or sensory experiences); are the ones who tend to have more positive experiences, more moments of joy and connection. If you ever want to chat about it - text or video I’m happy to. Wishing you and your family well in all of this. 💜
