yes it equals suicide . my best friend only told 3 people her mom, her oldest daughter and me. even my friend only said the word Alzheimer once then never mentioned it again.And in her death her mom just told others she had an illness or that she was sick... not that she had Alzheimer or that she decided to end it before Alzheimer caged her . she was just sick . but she wasnt sick and she really was not, as they say, that far into it she would call me and wed talk shed say my mom wont talk about "it " meaning Alzheimer . but we did even if my friend had to go out of ear shot if her mom was around. we did talk and that was good... sad but good none the less. and I would like to yell at her mom that she wasnt sick per say oh NO ...She was brave and strong and wise and BEAUTIFUL and she cared for others .She was my best best friend I will never find or have a friend like her again. and this week... well tomorrow makes exactly 6 months .. tho it seems like yesterday.
Sorry for my rant it just came out. and I went so off thread topic. I am sorry.
PEACE
