My Love Has Alzheimers

I hope it's not hereditory Lady Labyrinth becase my mum had dementia which is almsot the same perhaps not as bad though becasue she did recognise me and my husband - Caren you have touched on an international health related topic which has been debated and turned inside out and upside down by medical people. It is truly sad to watch some who held a position of authority slide back to childhood and wrose. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

I can relate to the heavy-heart loss felt in this poignant piece Caren. My best friend of over 50 years now calls me Janet and is lost in her world of this terrible disease. You have captured that kind of loss perfectly! xxoo

So sad Caren, when you remember how they were, its pitiful. Tom

Very sad Krutsinger. "Departure" is slow and stagnated and that is what makes it so gut wrenching and heart breaking. Particularly if the person was highly eloquent and intelligent before demise. My father used to throw food at his 24/7 carers. Oh, the language, ripe, he had a pulchritudinous way of absolutely eviscerating the kindness and character of all his carers, but particularly, those of Filipino and Indian extraction. His behaviour, was enough to call for a thorough exorcism ... and absolutely no inhibitions with dimentia ...the script called for a Cuckoo's Nest casting. I wonder if it's hereditary?

absolutely heart breaking especially those last 4 lines Caren. My uncle has dementia I hear from my aunt of his behaviour and it is beyond sad:-( hugs Jan xx

So sad and yet, so true from knowing someone who has a relative with that going on. I haven't dealt with it, but you have written this well :)
