My Grandmother had Alzheimer’s. It was terrible and I think it must be one of the worst things that could happen to you, to lose your mind. She did seem to do better with things in the distant past. She could talk with you at length about her childhood, for example.
Yes Jaysun. It is all so very sad. Hugs and love to you.You are correct that older people seem to want to talk about old times but maybe that is where their best memories are. I think all of us remember fond times when we are little..
