The Closing of the Window: My Nana's Fight With Alzheimer's Disease ©2019
Written, Read, and Produced by her Granddaughter -- that's me. To skip the intro: 1:09 ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* 📝 Last semester I wrote a paper for my ENGL 1302 class about my #Nana and her battle with #Alzheimers. I knew a little bit about it while she was dealing with the disease but since I was only 14-years-old when she passed away I didn't know what could have possibly caused it. I threw myself into this paper and almost didn't think of anything else for weeks and weeks. #TeepaSnow and her videos helped me understand the disease and was a great resource for this project I'm sharing with the world. 📌 My Nana was my Nana. She was fierce. She was smart. She was brave. But even with all of her amazing qualities, #Alzheimer's #Disease still found a way to steal her from us like chiseling at stone, taking her piece by piece until she was a shell of the person she once was. In this video I talk about what I believe could have caused her dementia as well as some of the early signs she had and how my family handled taking care of her. 📌 My hope for this video is to just share my Nana's story -- along with my Granny's as she had #VascularDementia, which is talked about in the video -- and raise awareness so that there could one day be a cure. #Alzheimers #Awareness #LivingWithDementia #TheClosingOfTheWindow #WhatIsDementia #WhatIsAlzheimers 📌To donate to the Alzheimer's Association: https://www.alz.org/nca/donate 📌Teepa Snow -- Dementia Care & Education Specialist: https://www.teepasnow.com 🎶Music -- the YouTube Audio Library🎶 Remember Me -- JR Tundra Strolling Through -- Silent Partner Family Album -- Magic in the Other Mother's Son -- Topher Mohr & Alex Elena 📝 Works Cited 📝 📍Attems, Johannes “Investigating Whether a Particular Type of Amyloid Protein Is Linked to Alzheimer's https://www.alzheimers.org.uk/research/our-research/research-projects/investigating-whether-particular-type-amyloid-protein-linked-alzheimers-disease-development 📍Chow, Connie & Editorial Team at DailyCaring. “TIA Is a Warning Sign of Stroke and Vascular Dementia.” DailyCaring, 30 May 2017, dailycaring.com/tia-is-a-warning-sign-of-stroke-and-vascular-dementia 📍Coor, Kate “Can Trauma Trigger Dementia?” The Unforgettable Blog, 22 Nov. 2017, www.unforgettable.org/blog/can-trauma-trigger-dementia/ 📍Disease Development.” Alzheimer's Society, www.alzheimers.org.uk/research/our-research/research-projects/investigating-whether-particular-type-amyloid-protein-linked-alzheimers-disease-development. 📍MacGill, Markus. “Dementia: Symptoms, Treatments, and Causes.” Medical News Today, MediLexicon International, 1 Dec. 2017, www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/142214.php 📍Mayo Clinic “Lewy Body Dementia.”, Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research, 9 Aug. 2017, www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/lewy-body-dementia/symptoms-causes/syc-20352025 📍Oken, Barry S, et al. “Stress-Related Cognitive Dysfunction in Dementia Caregivers.” Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry and Neurology, U.S. National Library of Medicine, Dec. 2011, www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3340013/. 📍Snow, Teepa “What Is Dementia?” YouTube, YouTube, 23 July 2013, www.youtube.com/watch?v=t--mkzfHuIE.
