re: Have you seen a loved one in a state that crushed you…

A few years ago, I visited my aunt and uncle who were both in full blown Alzheimer’s. To see my uncle, who was a former college athlete, a very successful executive with a fortune 50 corporation and an all around good husband and father to be reduced to that condition was gut-wrenching.
Both he and my aunt are in a better place now, but that day was one of my worst.
