My husband can hardly stand to visit her since she can's remember who he is half the time. It is so hard on him. The pain this causes to families is immense.

I'm catching up on my blog reader post holiday. I've worked a lot with people with Alzheimers in the past and it's such a terrible disease. I'll never forget the day I spent desperately trying to clean up an elderly man who just didn't understand what was going on, he was in social housing, without proper nursing care, and suddenly he looked at me and said "Thank you" It makes me want to cry even now as his family barely ever visited and wanted nothing to do with it. Your grandmother is lucky to have a loving family that will come together and support her. I hesitate to say "glad" but I think it's nice that your family have come together in this. I don't know what else to say really. I feel like giving you a hug, but we've only met once and you live hundreds of miles away so that might be a) weird and b) impossible. .-= Retro Chick´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/VintageClothingRetroStyle/~3/MlatpYdHJHs/" rel="nofollow">What Are You Wearing?
