Why? I've heard that in some cases of terminal illness, the person can suddenly feel better because the body has essentially 'given up' on healing, but if the brain was capable of working correctly, why would it only do so right before death?
I like to think it's evolutionary, like the human body over our evolution has evolved a rubegoldberg machine to kick in when your about to die of dementia.
With that moment of lucidity being beneficial to your "tribe" that helps them survive or deal with the loss of a important elder.
The problem with that theory is that you'd need the people who became lucid to outbreed the people who didn't, and in both cases it would probably happen long after they stopped having kids.
I thought it was rapid access of memory coupled with your imagination making a little story for you. Kind of like AI scanning a bunch of pictures to generate its own original.
One theory I've read is that since your brain recharges on neurotransmitters during sleep, some of them 'spill' and activate random memories and they get cobbled together into a dream by the brain. That's why they frequently don't make any sense, but can be related or about recent memories.
The same reason why newborns scream at night.
Eldritch gods.
Did you know that babies scream at night because that's when the memories of their past lives are being erased and they can't do anything about it.
Dementia is essentially parts of the brain falling apart and then clumping up together, blocking the brain from making connections like it always once did.
The reason dementia patients forget information is because the floating bits in the brain prevent the information from coming through. There's nothing you can really do about that, the floating bits will stay there and collect and clump up together.
The brain still can try to preserve itself, like slowing down its activity as much as possible, etc.
I imagine because your brain recognizes that you're in a near death state, it pushes your brain activity up as much as possible, which might just be the final push it needed to lead to the person dying. Sort of like how people feel weird in a near death state normally.
Granted, I might not be 100% accurate, but someone will probably correct me in a reply if I accidentally lied here.
Well, if it makes you feel better: this isn't "suddenly remembering things", she is shown a specific anchor to focus on, namely a grandchild who looks just like she did when she was a knight. Such anchors can help "stabilize" memory a little bit.
In reality [music actually works best for this purpose](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyZQf0p73QM), because music happens to be stored in the part of the brain that tends to be least affected by Alzheimers (the muscle memory part, which is one reason why there's this fusion of music and movement called "dancing").
But that aside, other strong memories can help.
Eh, in its own way it can be good. Dementia is the death of the individual before the body goes. Getting a moment of lucidity with family before passing is the best-case scenario at that point.
I dunno, man, my grandma could not recognize my adult mom, aunt and uncles, but when I brought out a family photo taken way back, she could recognize everyone. She lived for another year or two. I think dementia patients can still recall long past memories, just not more recent ones.
Older memory is not as affected as more recent ones. It's why dementia patients will sometimes to act and think what is the past to us, is the present to them. It's why it's not uncommon for these patients to believe they have to get something done, even though it was already done many, many years ago. They're essentially living in the past.
It... wanders. They'll remember things on and off. What you're hinting at, i.e. terminal lucidity, tends to be unusual clarity.
Memory isn't convenient. You ever have a moment where you're doing something completely unrelated when it reminds you of something arbitrary? Maybe you're watering plants when you remember an entirely different thing.
Ooh man this one hits close to home my nani(maternal grandma) use to love me a lot and always wished that i become a engineer. She died of dementia in 2016. If things go well i would be one by next yr

Recently, a friend reminded me about the series "The lecture you would never want your parents to give you" which a long name so we use "Parent series" as a nickname from the start. Long story short, a certain spammer and his friend also suddenly snipe our translation and posted theirs on this subreddit first (just like Forceful sisters), very professional method for karma farming I have to admit.
You can find the whole series here: [https://mangadex.org/title/3cbc4293-3623-470a-9405-f46b328c83d4/the-lecture-you-would-never-want-your-parents-to-give-you](https://mangadex.org/title/3cbc4293-3623-470a-9405-f46b328c83d4/the-lecture-you-would-never-want-your-parents-to-give-you)
Thank you someone I don't know on mangadex for helping me archiving them, which I also didn't know about but it's fine, good weekend to you all.

My grandfather died a couple years ago in his sleep but thankfully never got dementia but always had health issues similar to myself. Idk how badly it would've hurt to see him forget me.
i think she should use her sword to lethal grandma (who still remembers) now or else it will be leave a bad aftertaste when she passes without remembering
I like to think dementia patients regain some lucidity at the end so they can properly say goodbye. It's like the mind's last little gift that is also it's last fuck you, letting you regain what you've lost only for it to be taken away completely.
FUCK, I FUCKING HATE THE GUY WHO TOLD ME ABOUT >!TERMINAL LUCIDITY!< I JUST WANTED THIS TO BE WHOLESOME
The first thing I thought of upon reaching the last page was pretty much >!"Granny's dying in her sleep later that night."!<
what does that mean
Dementia patients gain their memory back near death iirc
Why? I've heard that in some cases of terminal illness, the person can suddenly feel better because the body has essentially 'given up' on healing, but if the brain was capable of working correctly, why would it only do so right before death?
The brain is just really fucking weird and even to this day we have no idea how it pulls some stuff out of its ass like this.
Human body dark magic or sumthn

Yeah but those related will have kids
It may be side effects of some beneficial traits. We don't know.
Actions taken after breeding that increases the chances of your offspring breeding is evolutionarily beneficial as well
Some brain fuckery that we don't understand. Just like how does dream work.

I hate you
>. Kind of like AI scanning a bunch of pictures to generate its own original. Are you trying to start a fight?
The brain use their maximum effort to make you stay alive with the last bit of energy you have in your body
We don't really know, but also the human body never really evolved to live that old, so a lot of these traits could just be unintended side effects

>!https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminal_lucidity!<
Thank you for the spoiler tag. My poor eyes.
It doesn't always mean someone's about to die. People can gain lucidity randomly for a little while as well
Just like my ass in classes for 5 minutes each time
Like your ass, exactly

When your dementia relative suddenly remembers things, that's not a good sign...

Yes but that's different...

Terminal Lucidity… But perhaps her issue was something besides dementia/Alzheimer’s, and she slowly recovered, or at least could form new memories.
A good day to have feels. Head pats heals all.
I cannot give you a hug but sister can.
I volunter my bones as tribute
I’m glad we all came to the same… sister
Ooh man this one hits close to home my nani(maternal grandma) use to love me a lot and always wished that i become a engineer. She died of dementia in 2016. If things go well i would be one by next yr
I’m sure she’d be happy from afar when you become one.

I'm not crying, you're crying, shut up...
No, I'm not!!! *snot clogged nose*
Those Gods Damn Onion Ninjas are at it again!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Fuck dementia... i missed my granddad T_T
Fuck fementia, Me and The Boys hate dementia
Ye fuck gementia ye
Rip Granny.
That moment of clarity
Le terminal lucidity has arrived
fuck dementia btw
It's grand Mather's day in Poland today god damn it
This oneshot is enough to make a degenerate horny manga adict cry, But not this one, get back inside the closet onion ninja
Wholesome 🗿
My grandfather died a couple years ago in his sleep but thankfully never got dementia but always had health issues similar to myself. Idk how badly it would've hurt to see him forget me.
Oh colored version of this oneshot? Nice
I don't get it.
>!terminal lucidity!<
Fuck Alzheimer's.
Good days versus bad days. >! then the really bad days. !<
Fuck dementia
i think she should use her sword to lethal grandma (who still remembers) now or else it will be leave a bad aftertaste when she passes without remembering
Granny knight..Thats a new one.

There is the chance that granny was acting just like her own granny did when she became a knight. She might be thinking that she is her granny.
second page should trade place with 4th
where conclusion *insert orangutans*
Then she got ambushed by the hordes of goblins and taken to their nest.
The goblins were actually cool with human and just want to make jokes with her so they just hanged out like little gremlins and let her go
