In what doctors say are the final stages of her Alzheimer’s disease, Betty Pettit has found new ways to share the love on TikTok

Ever since they met in the fifth grade, Bob Pettit said his wife has always been the life of the party, a social butterfly and a caring mother. Now, in what doctors say are the final stages of her Alzheimer’s disease, Betty Pettit has found new ways to share the love on TikTok. It all began with a video their son Joshua Pettit posted around Thanksgiving of last year. Betty was talking to her reflection in a full-length mirror, asking the woman her name.

” Bob and Betty have moved in with Josh in North Carolina as her health began to decline. Her husband and son hope to have her in the home with them for as long as it’s physically possible. And even though Bob was resistant, they found someone to come in sometimes to help them care for Betty. What have they learned about caretaking? “I guess just, you know, engaging with the person, being there, trying to live in their moment and just go with it and, you know, enjoy those moments,” Josh said.
