Alzheimer's and Lost Memories

It's a moment in life when all your memories fall away and all that's left is a blank palette friends and family come to visit and you just sit there like they're strangers your blank stare upsets everyone

It's very hard to experience this scene with friends and family. It must be devastating to experience it first-hand. My prayers are with all that do. Smiles ~ Blessings, Bill Thanks for the soup mail. :-)

I understand. There is a lack of understanding all the way around, karen. What do the visitors expect? I don't know. I went through it with my wife's mother. So sad.

A devastating disease. Nothing left to live for when memories are robbed by this disease.
