......Never thought at the time but legal Euthanasia might be something to consider in this type situation.
I once asked a family member who was an MD his opinion of euthanasia.
His response was profound. He said,

"There is a huge difference between prolonging life and prolonging death!"

My wife’s sister contracted the disease at 59. She’s now 69 and it’s been a slow decline until one year ago. She’s been in stage 7 during that time.
8 weeks ago she began to remember everyone. It was miraculous until last week when she started to decline again, but this time ever so rapidly. It’s almost as if she began to remember things again to say goodbye. This is a terrible disease.
I’m sorry for your loss.


Just too put you straight you can’t contract the disease of dementia my mother in-laws has been admitted. It is horrible and degrading brain disorder

An old joke thats been around a while now . So does that mean I havent got dementia yet because I remember it ??? I do sometimes however have trouble recalling a word for something during a conversation. I do hope thats a normal aging thing.

what part of the "process" are you in?


Well, I'm 75. The majority of my aunts and uncles lived into their late 80's. My mother was 95. More behind than in front
