My boyfriend has an older mom she had him at 40 years old and she is now 65 she has had a bad memory for a while now it has not been until recently that they have been so certain that she has dementia. She’s supposed to have an appointment today for that. I gave my boyfriend a hug, held his hand, told him to be strong that I’ll pray, love him forever, and if he needs me I’ll leave work early for him. But other than that I am not sure how to make him feel better. I was crying last night because I felt so heartbroken for him we’ve been together for almost two years but I’ve never seen him ball his eyes out like this. I have cried many times in front of him but compared to this I realized how stupid I was. She has been a nurse for 23+ years he was crying because she has given so much and doesn’t deserve this he even said that he would give a part of his brain for her if he could I tried to tell him that it could just be work overload but it seems like he was certain.
How to comfort my boyfriend (him and his family strongly suspect that his mother has dementia and I saw him bawling his eyes out for the first time) ?
