My grandma is 75. She is in a dementia like state due to a stroke and appears depressed and suicidal. She can't make new memories and her mental health is deteriorating fast. My grandma is an angel and the universe feels so unfair to give her such a horrible illness. There is little we can do and im getting more hopeless each time i visit her as she appears worse and worse. My grandma used to live in a coastal town and I remember those summer months on the beaches, ice creams, pizzas, fried sardines and branzino fishes. I wish i could drink a black tomislav beer again with her brother. With her out of her home and into a nursing home, it feels like a sad nostalgic dream from childhood and it breaks my heart that things will never be like before. It's sad. It's just very sad. My childhood was horrible but those summers were the only good things about it and i miss it so much.
i'm very sorry for your love one (and you also).
you seem desappointed by the events. you don't know what to do ?

It's so heart breaking to see the ones we love deteriorate. I'm so sorry for what you are all going through. Your Nan sounds like a very special lady.
Do you take photgraphs in to show her? I've also heard that people suffering with dementia also sometimes respond well to old songs and music they remember. I agree though. It's so cruel that people go through this.
