    Short, short version: My mom has dementia bad; constant paranoid delusions and sensory hallucinations. She’s in a bad way but denies it is a mental illness.

    Sorry Cam.

    My mother is the opposite, she's approaching 60 and perfectly healthy, but is unreasonably scared of dementia and insists she's slipping into it already.

    What is approaching.
    I'm 3/10 late this year.
    Have had bad memory(short) since I can remember.

    My buddy’s funeral is tomorrow. I’m still reeling. Had a few small cries the past couple of days, but no real outburst. I’m due for one. I know I’m going to be a wreck tomorrow. I’ll be saying a few words as well, just hope I can keep it together on the podium.

    25 years of friendship, and now all of a sudden he’s gone. It’s such a shock to the system. Really sucks, the guy was like a brother to me. My heart aches.

    It might be worth having a back up person that you can hand your "script" to, if it's too overwhelming. Speaking at funerals is very hard work.

    Yeah I’ll probably have my wife go up with me.
