I lost my Mom 7 months ago....she suffered from Alzheimers, and as her primary caregiver I found it extremely difficult and emotional watching her turn into a helpless child.
My Mom died of Alzheimer’s in March, ‘08. It was horrible. When I went to see her on Christmas, ‘07, I found that I had joined my Dad, and everyone else she’d ever known in the deep shadows beyond the rapidly dimming light of her mind. Alzheimer’s victims, for the most part, are the most truly alone of us when they die.
