I came to post pretty much the exact same thing 🤣

I’ve been doing this same process (minus the autorename) since around 2008. It doesn’t take much time and makes a huge difference in the long run.

Knew it would be Majulaar without clicking lol. All his videos are good but he absolutely ascended on the UO video. It’s an all timer!

Yeah, The Father was really good too. It didn’t fuck me up the way Amour did though. Maybe it’s just because (adult) children are inherently separate from their parents, there’s just as much love, but more distance. Whereas with a spouse, particularly one you’ve grown old with, there is a comfort and reliance in day-to-day existence that’s so precious. Then to see that deteriorate in real time is just so heartbreaking.

You’re right though, dementia is fucking terrifying and one of my most desperate wishes is that neither I or anybody I love ever has to deal with it.

Amour by Michael Haneke. Absolutely heatwrenching film about an elderly man losing his wife to dementia. Total masterpiece but I cried pretty much all the way through. I guess I’d recommend it if you wanted a good cry.
