MY...WHAT A RIVETING WORK. THE CRUELTY OF THIS DISEASE IS GIVEN FROM AN ASPECT THAT WE DON'T OFTEN LOOK AT BECAUSE WE USUALLY FOCUS ON THE DAMAGE IT IS DOING TO THE AFFLICTED INDIVIDUAL. BUT THE TORMENTING PAIN OF LOSING A LOVED ONE...A LONG, LONG TIME BEFORE THEY ACTUALLY TAKE THEIR LAST BREATH IS DESCRIBED SO WELL IN THIS WORK. THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...

Beautiful, Anna! Great flow of ups and downs, wonderful connections of words, feelings and meanings. The reader can relate to the emotions that were to be brought forth, ending with what you didn't even have to write. Soft saddenings are maddening. Or, jeez, getting old sucks! Dying sucks too. And yet, here we are.. Bittersweet.

You bring great sensitivity to this tragedy, Anna, and it reaches the heart! I watched this with my grandma too, as a little girl.
Blessings,

| This is a sad write, Anna, and it did invoke a tear on my part...I once knew a teacher that I respected and loved & he had this terrible disease as well as Parkinsons...I pray that his son, my best friend since I was very young, does not someday follow in his fathers path with this disease...well written and perhaps the best I have read today or ever on this subject...ed |

This one made me cry a tear for all that they had lived and now they live in fear. Unfortunately, the only end to end this torture as for her to slip away.

Dementia and Alzheimers have to be one of the saddest things that can happen to a person in life. To forget who you love, who loves you, your past....so sad. You captured your topic well Anna.

A tear jerker for sure, Anna. Someday there will be a cure, but for all those who suffer now, I fear it will be way too late.
This one really hits close to home.
