Dad forgets himself 🥺 (bad Sundowning long version)

- Dad was really confused this morning. The video document significant sundowning, but fortunately you can see dad stays emotionally stable, is an angry or frustrated This is one of the best examples of sundowning (over 60 seconds) that I’ve captured
His mind is lagging, but his heart never misses a beat! There are worse fates...❤️
Never
The most beautiful comment ❤️
Thanks Dan for sharing. I know it’s not easy and you are doing an amazing job!
Love you Pop ❤
Very true! Nicely said
When he said, "I am lucky", I lost it. What a man!
❤❤❤
When Ed said WHAT to 6 kids. 😂❤
My old man passed tragically at age 56. Thank you so much for sharing this process. I know how tough it must be to watch this progression, but it's beautiful that you have the opportunity to love him every day for the rest of his life, you are a blessing my friend ❤
❤❤❤
I lost my dad at age 21. Fortunately I had a great father-in-law till I was 55! What the Salingers are doing is so beneficial for so many people!
Sorry for your loss.
I just turned 56 on Friday. I've already outlived my maternal nanny and my paternal grandfather. My last grandparent, my maternal grandfather (obviously) passed at 92 after suffering from Alzheimer’s.
One day at a time eh. It's all we all have ❤🙏
I lost my Dad when I was 6 years old and always think about what conversations would be like if he was alive today. He would've been 71 on the 6th of this month 😢
I also lost my Dad right after his 60th birthday at the young age of 61. I am sorry for your loss and the fact that you had to endure two losses.... First the loss of the person and their mental state and the second loss is the physical loss. I appreciate Dan for sharing so more people can understand and hopefully someone will fight like hell to come up with a cure and preventative treatment.
Even in his confusion, he’s always so grateful….he has great character….❤Loving Man❤
Same thing I said
Your dad is awesome. It's amazing how casual and friendly his demeanor is despite all the confusion.
And that's _exactly_ why I love Grandpa! His sweet, kind nature! 💚
They're incredibly lucky Ed is this way. Many are not and are very mean and combative. Very hard to take care where Ed is pleasantly confused and way easier to take care of.
True so many with this disease are cranky.
It affects each person differently
For my mom, she didn't
have the ability to walk. But we had so many laughs with the things she would say with stories she would make up. Active imagination there were sad moments to.... when she would cry asking if she was crazy
😂I told her ABSOLUTELY NOT she was not crazy & not 7:04 think like that. I would listen to every story she told as though that was the 1st time I heard it.
If she told the same story it was fine because I knew one day would come & I'd give ANYTHING to hear her tell me the same story over and over .
I do have 11 of her voice-mails on my phone & some videos
God Bless Ed
Her oldest brother loss his ability to talk.
It is a tough disease
Right?!?! It is amazing!
Always, your father Ed says 'thank you". What fine manners he has, in spite of his memory challenges. He sets the example for everyone else. Using good manners and respect could help people to solve problems and end wars.....truly!
💯❤️
Well said ❤
Very well said❤ Good manners always result in peaceful relationships🥰😇 and brings happiness...
My dad was always really humble too.....miss him
💯💯💯🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🥂🥂🥂
He always has a grin on his face asking questions, even at his worst he is better than most.
Must be heartbreaking but at the same time, I love the love being shown between you two.
I love your comment Dad, "Were all lucky. As long as we are on this Earth, we are all lucky" ❤
The world goes fast. Truer words were never spoken Ed
I come on CZcams to check if there's a notification of Grandpa Ed. Thank God I found this channel on IG. Big thanks to Dan, Mark, and Danielle for always taking care of our beloved Grandpa ❤
Me too
Absolutely love Dad.
Thru all the confusion and hard times, he is always grateful and full of love ❤🥰🙏
💯
Blessings to all from Australia 🇦🇺🙏
He cannot remember but he is polite always
The empathy I have for you all is immesureable! Sending hugs & well wishes.
Thanks for being so kind, patient and loving to your father, Dan.
If your father didn't have this disease, he'd himself tell you that he couldn't have had a better son in you.
💜
My grandmother passed from dementia and Dan I'm gonna tell you brother I love how you take care of your father. Best wishes from Georgia.
@@dsalnorcal1434 Hi I think if you would show him old family pictures this would really help him.
You guys take such good care of him. Thank you for sharing with us. ❤
Couldn’t agree more. I’m constantly struck by that!!!
My mom died when I was 12 and my grandparents adopted me and raised me until they passed in 2015, 9 months apart, after 68 years of marriage ❤😢 Whenever I miss them, which is quite often, I come and watch Ed! Thank you Dan and Danielle for sharing your journeys with us! And thank you Mr. Ed!!! I wish you many many more years of good health! ❤❤❤
Awww 🥰
He’s a great Dad.
Not all of us have the blessing of good parents who’re capable of loving us.
Be grateful Dan!
That is a very true statement Most of my friends and my clients do not have that, luckily I have a family that's close five kids and my dad
But I think Dan and Ed are just wonderful, great chemistry
@gasmith8486, you are so right about that. ❤
My Father passed at 57 ,I was 26 at the time,now I'm 71 , I know it's hard dealing with memory loss but I would do anything to have my Father here,, great video be well,
My dad passed at age 33 when I was 5. I miss him so much though I really don't remember him. The same as you I'd love to have him here to take care of and love.
Reminds me of my dad. Some days I was his son, some days I was his brother and some days I was the guy who took care of him. 9 years I took care of him and would give anything for one more day.
❤❤❤bless you
His heart never changes, and he is the sweetest man. Thank you for sharing him with us. God bless your family 🙏💖💝💗🌞
You and Danielle are carrying the weight of his disease for him. The greatest gift.
I just love your patience with him it’s outstanding ❤
It’ll be nice to see Adam. He’s the only son we have not yet seen
Dr Ed has become all our adopted Dad. He's the man. ALL my love from Scotland. I'd hug him If i could. Lost my mam to Alzheimer's, her journey through it was less than a year sadly. ❤
Ed is a kind and loving man and father. He has had a beautiful life with his family and continues to do so even with the change in his life. He was an excellent physician who loved what he did for a living. He is a good man whom I admire. When you talk about his kids he is always concerned that you are all well. Wonderful father! I'm so proud of you all for your patience and loving care of your father in his time of need just as I'm sure he took care of you growing up. Beautiful family. ❤
Danielle is a beautiful, loving and caring spouse and also caretaker of Ed. She has the best sense of humor which I enjoy. I believe Ed and Danielle have a special bond.😊You are all so patient and caring with Ed.
I'm so pleased I found you. It has been my pleasure being included in this time in your lives. My love to all of you. God bless you.
I love how he's always so shocked about having 6kids. His being 91 shock is also very understandable lol.
Thank you for sharing such emotional times. It really brings awareness❤
Aww his cute little giggles!!! Bless his ❤
I just love you Ed…. You are so caring and so grateful for all you caring son and daughter in law do for you….
Love his reaction to you telling him he had six kids
My heart goes out to you. When my husband's mom did not recognize him because she had Alzheimer's it took a while for her to remember. But she did after he played the piano for she would say Tom. Then everything was okay. 🙏🥰🤗
I love it when he learns he is your dad. He seems so happy when he finally knows" I'm your dad" "how many kids" no matter what he hopes there healthy and happy. What a wonderful person always worry about others.
God bless him and his family.
He might forget from time to time but he has a heart of gold ❤
He loves his coffee! 🤣🤣. My Mom and I drink coffee like that first thing in the morning…..☕️☕️ Makes me want to go and make a cup right now…I think I will 😊☕️😊
Best part of the day for me is waking and sitting with a hot cup of strong coffee, 🙏
Truly a sad situation some ppl have to go through. 😢 but this is our life. But he looks good, healthy, and happy. 😊 that is the main thing 😊
As I care for my 86 year old mom with Alzheimer’s, I have come to realize that though their memory fades, their love never does. Your dad and family are an inspiration to so many❤
Bless you Dan for the Love and affection you have for your Dad❤
Bless Dan? That sic bastard keeps putting his poor father on blast on the Internet, calls him Darth Vader when he is confused. What a terrible son
Life has a way of paying people back for what they do.
His reaction to how many kids he has was priceless!! Thanks!
Hate seeing your dad going thru this .but I Love his smile . He’s funny and you for being the greatest son ever for having your dad live with you ❤
Ed is an amazing, loving man and Dan you are such a patient loving son ❤
❤❤❤hugg❤❤❤ Dan your a great son.Your dad is wonderful. Your wife is amazing. Love ya all
DAN, I CANT THANK YOU ENOUGH. Sharing your story has TAUGHT me to be patient and loving in a time where I would get angry when my mom wakes up going through the same exact thing. Words can not explain how thankful I am
I'm genuinely proud of you❣️❤️
What a wonderful comment to leave.😊
Grandpa seems to be declining a bit cognitively (not physically) unfortunately that’s the path this disease takes… but you guys do a great job keeping him happy and comfortable
❤️
@@dsalnorcal1434you guys are doing great. Much love from Canada.
Grandpa is adorable especially when he is laughing. Never tired of watching such a descent,classy gentleman.
Just can't stop crying 😢😢😢😢😢😢this disease just shouldn't be. I love you Grandpa ❤❤❤❤❤
Bless his heart 💜
He's so precious ❤ I just love em❤❤❤
Its amazing to see Dad smile even knowing hes forgotten things, youd think hed be mad but, always that sly smile.
Remind him that you enjoy taking care of him and still having him around.
He has good eyesight!! Love your Dad!!!
"I'm Lucky."🥹 Grandpa's mind might forget..but the Love he has in his heart for his family will be there for infinity. God bless him.🙏❤
I wish I could give Ed a big hug!!! He's so lovable. His character and intelligence still comes through. What a lovely man!!! Ed, you've stolen the hearts of many people. Dan , you have a nice voice. Your conversations with your dad is priceless. Hugs and ❤
Dan, Grandpa's only issue is... just not remembering, short term things. He appears very healthy, happy and content, shuffles but as we age we all do that since we are not stable on our feet any longer. But that morning talk to began the day and having to explain where he lives, with whom and where his cash, wallet, RV, home and car have gone is his only true concern. That with making sure everyone is OK. Such a beautiful soul!!
The interaction between you and Danielle with him will be something you will be grateful for having someday. Wish I had done this with my dad and his alzheimers and dementia. Would love to be able and see him telling those good stories and even the bad days. Prayers for ALL of you guys as you continue this journey. .
With all his forgetfulness and memory loss it amazes me that he always remembers his brother Bill 😢 he must of loved his brother dearly
I’m crying and I’m smiling in equal measure!!😂🥲.
This is one of the most beautiful documentary series to put a human face to a most dreadful disease.
Thank you and God bless you all!!
❤️🙏
x.
Oh wow Dan.... I see that you need to repeat yourself time after time... It has to be frustrating, but you never get angry.. that is amazing how you can keep it together.
Though the journey may be trying, I can see the love and blessings. A great testimony. Your father is so lovable and you are a great son with lots of patience. Your family is a great example on how to give back the love you've been given. God 🙌🏽
Dan, you're doing such a fantastic job with your father, but more so you're helping spread education about dementia & very respectfully so. Thank you for sharing your family with us, I'm sure the choice to do so wasn't easy to make. God bless
Loved this beautiful conversation with your 'pop' Dan. Your patience with him tells me what an unbelievable person you are Dan. 😊
I just Love Dr. Salinger!!!!👍👍👍
He seems to be declining a bit more lately… almost 92! Blessings to Ed and all his family!❤️
Dan Handling Sundowning With Love, Patience & Humor Is NEXT LEVEL OF HUMANITY
I love how he finds humor in his confusion ❤
Awww I just love how you all are caring for Dr. Ed. All of your videos just warms our hearts!
You are providing such a great service for your father. What a blessing you are to each other. Also you are providing a good service by helping people understand how dementia affects different people.
You can tell by his eyes when he's having a hard time.
You're a strong man Dan... I hate your father momentarily forgets who you are but we all know he can't help it . He loves his family Mr Ed is a great man thanks for sharing this video
Lost my mom when I was 17, my dad when I was 12....
Oh what a blessing it is to have your parents whwn you are an adult... I miss my parents, missed them since day one when they left.
I love the banter between you two. This had to be only one of a few times I watched where Dr. Ed hadn't mentioned his wallet, keys, or his checkbook. 😂😂😂. Have a good day!!! 😊😊😊
I can’t help but smile when he always says THATS GOOD 😊Love you all ❤
I love the longer videos thank you! And thank you for being so kind to Ed in your conversations. You can truly feel the love you have for him. Not everyone can handle this so gracefully so thank you for your example ❤❤❤
I feel like I’m watching my journey with my father when I watch Ed and Dan interact.
Uncanny isn’t it? It reminds me of conversations I had when I was caring for my dad.
me too x@@ResinEssenceByCheri
Me too! Dad passed away June 24, 2022 at 89 and Mom had dementia and passed away June 24 2023 at 83. Missing them so much.
Me too. I am just entering in to this type of situation with my 85 year old dad. I'm scared of what lies ahead. I come here to learn.
Me too.
Awww. Makes me sad. Dan, it is so great to see that you are caring for your Dad. Dementia sucks. It's great to know that he is happy though.
Bless his heart, he has good days and "bad" days.
so sorry Dan, ❤ My mom is going down all she want's is to sleep now
Thank you Dan for another great video of grandpa! He’s so sweet & caring! We can see all the love he has for all of you! You’re a great son & take great care of him.🥰
Grandpa might forget everything and everybody including himself but never forgets Danielle😂😬🥰❤️🥰❤️🙈
The silence after Dan saying “ we’re gonna watch football” we know Ed isn’t down with that lol
Incredibly sad. Hang in there Dan.
It’s getting worse 😢
This is so sad. Reminds me of my Mom. She had dementia. We love your Dad.
“…well, I’m lucky.” Damn. What a guy. ❤
Uh. That must be so tough for you. I d k if I could handle watching my family suffer like that. 😢
He is not suffering, his healthy, happy, and most of all loved ❤️. Cause you have to have love to deal with this. Because it is alot. It effects the caregiver, and in this case, it's not a outsider, it's a family member, which I believe is harder. It's difficult.
I love ur dad. U r sooo gentle with. Him. God bless u
Dan, you're so good! What a lovely man you are. Peace.
He is much clearer today than somedays 😊
This disease is so FUCK up! Took my Grandfather and watching this brings out emotions sometimes. Ed is in great shape if his mind was intact he could still be golfing. God Blees Ed, Dan and the boss Danielle 🙌
DAN
A great talk with GRANDPA
Your tone perfectly another great VIDEO 🤗💖💖💖
Ed holding that cup with coffee strong with no trembling or shaking. That’s amazing.
Heart wrenching. I wanted to cry when he didn’t recognize you . I’m sure you knew it was coming but the reality of the situation hits hard.
I just love your Dad. One can tell what kind of man he is by carefully listening to him. He is always concerned about his kids being o k . I watch every video. Dan the way you have stepped up to the plate to take care of your dad is inspiring. In the crazy, narcissistic, society that is so vocal, you are a breath of fresh air. You remind me that there are still good people in this world that love their parents and are willing to show it.
Love the longer videos it shows real life your living God Bless you all from UK 🇬🇧 . xXxX xxx P.S tell pops he is loved so so much .
Dad died at 88 13 years ago. He had dementia the last 10 months of his life. It never progressed to the point of Ed's but he needed help 24/7. You take very good care of your dad. Thank you for sharing your journey.
Thank you for taking care of your dad! You are a good loving son!
Dan you make me smile every morning watching you talking lovingly to your dad. God bless you always and the reat of Salingers. Great family with compassion for each other ❤❤❤
Good job Dan you are understanding and take good care of your Pop..
Bless his heart.
He never forgets his’ baby Josh! Beautiful! 🩵🩵
This brings such warmth to my heart I'm so glad I found your channel your truly amazing Son and your wife is an angel two I love the way she handles some of the comments no one knows how hard it is until your in that situation I took care of my mother and father such a blessing I'll always have those memories God Bless you
We love you Dan ❤️ we love your voice too ..we love your approach..we love all your family and wife too ..thanks for looking after ED
Pobrecito seems like he is getting worse. He seems to be like a very kind man and you are the best son ever! Daniel is a great daughter in law. What a blessing he has in the two of you. It's a tough journey my granddad was the same.
Sweet, Sweet Man…he never forgets that he wishes his Beloved Family WELL!!!🌟🥰 I’m glad to see we never forget our love of Coffee☕️
Wow Dan , im addicted to you all like i was the brady bunch as a kid , blessings to you and Ed and all the rest , your like my extended family now❤
I like when he scratches his nose or head to help him think 😅
