You need to have empathy for what people are going through. Grieving is a process that is different for everyone.
Social devaluation can have a significant negative impact on individuals with dementia, leading to feelings of isolation, lower self-esteem, and a decrease in quality of life. It can result in exclusion from social activities, reduced support from others, and a lack of understanding and empathy from society. This can exacerbate the cognitive and emotional challenges associated with dementia.
Empathy and compassion are one and the same. People who display empathy are often compassionate.
People with dementia are typically older adults, with the risk increasing with age. However, early-onset dementia can occur in individuals as young as their 40s or 50s. The majority of individuals diagnosed with dementia are over the age of 65.

Senility is an old word for dementia. Only old people can be senile, but anyone can have dementia from brain damage.
People who meditate regularly have a lower chance of developing dementia.
We do not know what causes dementia, we only know that it becomes more common as people age.
No. The percentage of the population with dementia does increase with age, but not even half of elderly people (those above age 65) will ever meet criteria for dementia.
There are a couple of different ways your grandparents can receive support for their dementia. It really depends on how far along the dementia is. There is also support for people like you. http://www.tree.com/health/dementia-support.aspx
