so very sorry for your loss, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. may you find comfort in your memories and in knowing there are all of us out here if you need to talk. my parents are not in the best of health, my dad has kidney disease and my mom has early onset alzhiemers, they are both 66 years old and it breaks my heart to see them hurt. it is still my mom's body but not her mind, it would horrify her to know how she is now to what she was just 6 years ago. it is pitiful to see the hurt in my father's eyes when the love of his life is only there in body, she is like taking care of a three year old,he does dyalisis at home so he doesn't have to leave her alone. (which you can't do now) she is a handful always trying to sneak out the door and refusing to let us help her with daily hygiene. will keep you in my thoughts, angie
