When she forgets something so simple as where her glasses are (on her head) or where she left her purse, I get so sad.Sarahvizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07257891014401157085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37267517.post-77361171766488375552007-04-12T13:34:00.000-06:002007-04-12T13:34:00.000-06:00I'm with you, Elle, I think this has got to be so ...I'm with you, Elle, I think this has got to be so sad to watch someone lose their memory piece by piece. And I don't know either if it's worth to be the person who has it or the one watching the decline.<BR/><BR/>Either way, it's a horrible disease.

How many people in their mid-thirties do you know that can say that? My 37 year old brother and myself are the only people I can think of.<BR/><BR/>Your husband's thought is a good one. Sometimes i like to think that the thoughts are still in there, but those affected by it don't have the ability to express the thoughts/memories. Does that make sense?<BR/><BR/>I read an article recently about a man in his 30's who has the on-set of Alzheimers. Now, that's scary!Fratzelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04825868178731211899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37267517.post-9215432076799461192007-04-12T09:45:00.000-06:002007-04-12T09:45:00.000-06:00Memories are all we have sometime.

The docs said that her brain was literally deteriorating.. I must say though, that she went to very happy places.. She didn't remember grandad dying. She remembered us all, just not to look at us, we'd have to remind her. Then it was only a guess whether she remembered us or not. If I have to lose it, I want to go back to a happy place too..Mrs. S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03761888051349398776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37267517.post-70354208331962658662007-04-11T19:54:00.000-06:002007-04-11T19:54:00.000-06:00A very inspirational message.

I don't forget anything...much to my DH's dismay.;) Forgetting all of those moments that you described...how horribly sad. <BR/><BR/>My grandpa's sister has alzheimers and her husband had it also(he passed away a couple of years ago). Think about how sad that was for their children and for their marriage. It was just so sad.<BR/><BR/>Great message at the end! I try to remember that, but sometimes it is hard.
