This is a terrible disease. My Father died from Alzheimers. Very hard on the Care Givers also !!

Its really heartbreaking when it gets bad. Because of distance, I didn't get to see my grandmother much, but seeing her several years ago was hard, then when I saw her in September was horrible. She had long since forgotten who any of us were, but she could no longer babble, much less talk. She passed 2 days later.
Eventhough she didn't know us, I think deep down she did, and she took the visit by my Mom, uncle and I, as permission to go.(went peacefully)
Its a horrible disease I wouldn't wish on anyone.

My dad told us he had it right before he committed suicide. There were other factors but we think he was afraid of what was on the horizon .

My Mom's in the early stages of dementia. Not crazy yet, but a little paranoid, defensive, doesn't believe she's as bad as the medical people say.
