re: Living/passed grandparents - different treatment (Alzheimer involved) ...TL:DR

I simply cannot deal with going to that facility for more than 30 minutes and watch what my grandmother has become, nor what my grandfather is exposed to.... I really wish I could find a way to cherish the time I have with them while they are here but the facility is the most depressing place on the planet.

I agree completely...I had a relative in a similar facility and it felt like I was shuting the cage door on a dog everytime I left..just fricking terrible...the only solace to me was that in the later stages, my relative reallly didn't know what was going on...

fwiw, a good number of folks that I know do experience similar feelings that their loved one has already passed when in the late stages...can't really say I disagree....
