In this video, we consider the nature of memories, the implications and horrors of memory-related ailments, and the uncertainty of what it means to be "you."

“The advantage of a bad memory is that one enjoys several times the same good things for the first time.”

My wife, the love of my life had a brain injury that inhibits making new memories while she also lost a great deal of the old. She was 50 then, I’m her full time caregiver now for the last 8 years and have learned so much from this extremely difficult journey. The biggest take away I can share with anyone is to live in the present, nothing else really matters. Our days are filled with Love, good music, laughter (having a sense of humor is a must) and never taking anything too serious is the key to our happiness. To say we take time to stop and smell the roses is really an understatement, living in the moment is our life, we see roses everywhere now. I feel very blessed to have been given the ability to understand finally what is really important and how precious life truly is. ❤️ Be kind to each other.

it is said that some of your best days, you have yet to experience. A sad counterpoint to that is some of your best days, you've already forgotten

I am not afraid of death as much as I am afraid of dementia. It's horrifying to me to still be alive yet what I will have built all my life to be dead.

I did a semester of clinicals in a memory care unit while studying music therapy. It was crazy seeing how people’s bodies would change when they listened to a favorite song: their hands would relax and stop looking like claws, their shoulders and cheeks would soften and they’d look younger, their eyes would lose that glazed look, and faint smiles would replace the usual grimace.
Memory loss is such a difficult fate but there are ways to retain what makes us who we are. A lot of that really boils down to creating a strong sense of self before the dementia starts to disintegrate reality.

Journaling took the fear of dementia for me. Assuming I'm still able to find the notebooks, I can read about lost memories, and I hope I'll still be able to trust myself that this really happened.

everytime i'm living a good moment, the first thing that pops in my head is "damn... i can't believe i'm going to forget that". what i fear most is not forgetting because some sickness or advanced age, but getting my memories lost in between the business of daily life. i'm relief that today it's very easy to take pictures, record videos and things like that

Because it’s so easy to forget or misremember past events I have this odd fear of accidentally not developing as a person or randomly not being myself anymore.

I’d rather die than slowly lose myself

I've become a hoarder because of memories. I will keep things that I deem valuable to me whatever it is, Movies, photos, items songs. I would save it in multiple hard drives and storage, I will photocopy any photos and hide any item I deem "important" because I want to remember how it felt in that moment. In my head throwing or losing those things away are basically me losing bits and parts of myself away.

Although my mother passed from Alzheimer's & Covid in 2021, my "real" mom passed away much earlier than that. I've always considered her death to be a sort of blessing. Not for me but for her. It is the most insidious disease.

What sucks most about dementia is not knowing for sure if it's real, or just regular forgetfulness.

0:50 neither… i love forgetting things, people, ex’s, embarrassing moments, money lost, etc.. I think that’s part of the beauty of life… we naturally filter out the forgettable shit

I like your channel because it makes me feel like I am not weird, there are other people who think like me and have those questions about life always spinning in their heads.
thank you

My grandfather had Alzheimer’s. He forgot my name a lot but his essence was still there. He was a great man. Even though he had difficulties remembering who I was he still showed me kindness.

"Feel the dread flow through you." - Pursuit of Wonder. Seriously, I prefer to know about what might be coming than to be ignorant of it. Ignorance is not bliss, it's hell.

my mom was diagnosed with dementia this winter. she’s still herself most of the time but the small sense of absence is in her

It's sad but we're forgetting every day
