“I wouldn’t wish that on anyone”

Eleni Radu published a very moving post about dementia on her personal Facebook page. The actress, whose mother suffers from this disease, wanted to share this particular post on the occasion of Alzheimer’s Awareness Week.

“Someone once said that when you love someone with dementia, you lose them more and more every day. When are they diagnosed, when do they go through different stages, when do they need treatment, when do they die. This is called ‘ambiguous loss’. I wouldn’t wish dementia on anyone.” “When the brain slowly dies, it changes physically and eventually forgets who its loved ones are,” writes Eleni Rado.

“They may end up lying still and not eating or drinking. There will be people who look at this post because dementia has not touched them. They may not know what it is like to have a loved one who has or is suffering from dementia. To make people aware of this cruel disease, I would like From my friends to put this on their page today. Touch and hold the post to copy and paste it into your timeline. Thank you to everyone who (has) had friends or family with dementia. He added: “Special thanks to everyone who wants to post this on their timeline for Alzheimer’s Awareness Week.” “.

Eleni Rado revealed in an interview that her mother suffers from dementia: “My mother has been suffering from dementia for the past five years. The pandemic has made it more difficult. We should have been more aware of her condition than ours. We live together… There is a memory of the past. Memories start to fade from the last memories and go back. Needs “The caregivers of these people definitely need psychological support. It’s very painful for the caregivers. I’m struggling to take care of myself… If you don’t take care of yourself, you won’t be able to take care of others because it’s a very long and painful road.”
