- This is not Jacquie anymore, but we still love her the way she loved us.
Jacquie passed away on the 17th of June, 2017 - 3 days before her 60th birthday.
I have written a book, available here: www.amazon.com... or search on Facebook "Always Remember This book" to read for free.
I knew Jacquie, Tim, Jake and Zoe when they lived in Toronto. Jacquie was kind, tender-hearted and spiritually sensitive. We shared some similar struggles/and I still carry in my heart her words of affirmation and encouragement. I remember when Jacquie was first diagnosed with Pick's disease. There were limited signs of her cognitive dysfunction then, and she seemed to take it in stride. Knowing the prognosis of this illness I have often wondered about her condition. Watching this video is heartbreaking.
It's been my experience that we look to find meaning in the midst of unmitigated suffering and brokenness/often with little or no insight. Jacquie's life mattered - in health and also in sickness. Jacquie cared deeply for others and it seems was also deeply cared for when she could no longer care for herself. I still don't (always) understand the value of pain, but there is a mystery to it that I am learning to appreciate. I don't want to romanticize suffering - it is really difficult! - but I know that it produces something (worthy) that we will perhaps not understand in this lifetime.

Saw your thread on Reddit.
Can't even describe the thoughts going through my head, well enough. Wow...
I'm so very sorry for you and your family. This must be the worst thing that can ever happen to anyone and their loved ones.
Great video - very nicely done. A very nice tribute to her and insight into what this does to a person and their loved ones.
This actually made me cry. Not even gonna say the usual; that they were "manly tears". This seriously made me sad.
I'm so sorry that this has happened to your mother and your family.
So so sorry. My father was a minister. Was a very educated man. We watched him leave us in every way over the years, and then finally death. I was relieved for him that the journey was over and now he was at home with the Lord. I miss him every day and look forward to seeing both mom and dad when my time comes to go. My mother just recently passed with end time dementia. I thought how can I get through this? It took both my mom and I to take care of dad. The Lord took her in his arms and took her home before she could go through what we had gone through together with my father. I will lift all of you up in prayer. I pray the Lord has been merciful and taken her home. You will see her again.
I volunteer with advanced dementia patients in Toronto, they are loved and never forgotten, sorry for your family's loss and wishing you the best, God bless.
Picks disease is so very devastating for everyone. I used to work in a care home with two residents with pick disease & in some way it's even more distressing than dementia alone, although it's still just as evil a disease. Sending love & strength to your family, your are so very brave for sticking together & caring for her solely for 8 years! It's not easy to deal with. I hope she can pass over soon & become the woman u knew & loved before this awful illness took hold. Soon she can watch over u as u continue to grieve & get some closure for the wonderful mother u lost 8 yrs ago x
This is so damn heartbreaking and maddening! Noone deserves this!
What a very beautiful lady. Very sorry for your lost. I totally understand this situation. Much love to you all ♥️♥️
this is very sad. my dad had frontal lobal dementia. it was that agressive he passed away at aged 51 4 weeks ago. he was a grandad too and my kid's will never know him. Horrible to watch a loved one like this.
I am so sorry for your loss. I understand this far more than I wish I did. My father died 5 years ago of Alzheimer’s, lewy body dementia, and vascular dementia. His frontal lobe also died.
I just lost my mother to end stage dementia about 17 days ago. Hers was brought on by falls. She was so sneaky. You would tell her not to get up but she would. She also had congestive heart failure.
I miss both of them more than words can express. God blessed me with the most amazing parents.
This hit home. My mother passed away early this year from the affects of Dementia. She was diagnosed in 2006 but the symptoms were showing prior. Your story is so much like our families journey. To ZoeI say this: I became a mother 2 1/2 years ago and although my mom met her she could not enjoy her like I know she would have liked to. I am praying for your family hold your mom as much as you can she can feel you although she may not remember.
Wow, this is our life currently, my mum was diagnosed at 57 with early onset and is now 58. She is still at home with us, but this disease is brutal it strips away the person u once knew as mum. My heart goes out to your whole family. Myself and my dad look after her, my 2 older brothers live away and find it all to confronting so they don't visit. I too look forward to the day my mums mind is finally at rest, I know that sounds terrible but when you have walked 10 years with this disease you understand. God bless. 💜💜💜💜💜💜🐘
Lifting up prayers for you and your family of healing and giving you peace in the midst of this horrible disease. I have been down the road you are traveling and yes…it is devastating.
My Dad has this. He is still my Dad. You can give up all you want but that is your mum and you should accept her no matter how she changes, if you can't, you've given up.
This made me cry :'( I'm so sorry for your family and for Jacquie. God bless xx
So glad I watched this, brave and honest. Jacquie was a beautiful woman, much loved. xxx - Shelly Gale
A beautiful tribute, saddening and beautiful.
This is such a cruel disease for the persons dear ones. I lost my mother in cancer and I thought that was long drawn but this can go on forever and they lose the person a bit more at the time til there is nothing left that recognizes them.
Watching this was incredibly difficult for me. My mother passed away from Pick's Disease (FTD) in 1999, when I was 13 years-old and she was only 52, in the time before there was practically any awareness of this rare form of dementia. She first began showing signs in 1994, but was misdiagnosed for almost 2 years with "depression" until she was also lost on a highway and was found walking on a broken ankle in central New Jersey, nearly 2 hours from our home. That incident led to her having an MRI where they revealed to us that there was a hole in her brain where there should have been tissue. My mom also used to tell me of her dreams of being a grandmother and sewing clothes for them. I would like the opportunity to speak to anyone in your family about my experience and yours, and see if there's any possible way I can be of any help to you all. Please post a reply if we can start a dialogue, it would really mean very much.
This is so sad. I truly feel for her family. Just waiting and praying for God to take her home. I also wonder if she is able to understand. Something needs to be done to find a cure. Until such time just love her. 💔🕊🙏🏼
If I forget someone’s name, I hope they don’t hold it against me. If I forget everything, I hope the same. God allows everyone to be where they are at , to grow in virtues and eliminate their vices. In Heaven, everyone loves and cares. Life is about *God and others. These things that happen are not to be wished away, so we can carry on with SELFISH ways. How would you like to be treated? (Golden Rule) Anyway, true joy comes from when you KNOW you are pleasing God.
If a god existed these terribile diseases wouldn't. There is no god, only tge cruel mother nature
those feelings...... :(
So sad.
I wish i knew what this was, when my grandparents got it, nothing was being said about this , not that i could remember....this is scarey cas its happening younger and younger its just so sad, it breaks my heart to see others go through this becas i know just how yal feel it hurt so bad cas its like wen they forget u its also like they become emotionless...idk i just pray that one day we find a cure , my heart crys out for her nd for u all, becas they r confused too...and flustrated becas they cannot remember..
Nice story I like it!
😢💗💗💗
My concern is now for the children and grandchildren. There is a 50% chance that the kids carry the gene which causes early-onset, which then can be passed to their children. The nightmare continues generation to generation😞
Sorry previous post I meant 68. Ten years later
So she is not your wife but someone you look after what a horrible thing to say....
That threw me for a loop too. All the care givers I've witnessed still hold onto to their original love. Disheartening.
No, in reality the dementia took his wife, the person she was . She is now very much loved and cared for and mourned but we know...we know. Very very sad , I’m sorry for her and her family.
i lost my grandma to this evil evil deisise , i hope someone finds cure for it so millions of famillies dont have to go trough the pain
very selfish family shame on them only thinking about them selves
The husband cares for her, you judgemental little prick.
@@trevorrogers95 That is his opinion...and you are the judgemental one to call him a vulgar name for his opinion which seems to be the common sin these days. I also picked up on the self-centeredness of the family with several statements, such as: rather she was in quick car accident so we can get on with our lives. Perhaps these diseases are more of a life lesson for the family's souls that they are obviously not learning.
@@dragonight57 sounds like You're a judgemental little prick as well. Fuck off you self righteous Jesus freak.
@jameshanley you are delusional
What a terrible thing to say shame on you
