Hard to see
My family is going threw the same thing with my grandfather. We saw little signs at the beginning. Like milk in the cabinets, forgetting to eat. Then in almost a split second Alzheimer's kicked in quick! Now he is nothing but skin and bones. Confined to his hospital bed. Wears a diaper. Cannot feed/drink himself. Doesn't even remember who we are 99.5% of the time. He has been on hospice I'm guessing a year now, he is a fighter! We think he is scared to die b/c he has told us that in the past. But we tell him all the time it's ok. We will be ok, you will be ok. Still a fighter. My mom promised him she would take care of him in his home and she is keeping to that promise. Her and my aunt take care of him and we have home health sitters. Alzheimer's is a nasty disease and it is hard to watch the one you love have to go threw it all. I think my family and I have crossed that line of we will be ok when he passes bc he won't have to go threw any of this anymore!!! He will be walking the streets of gold with our Heavenly Father! Plus his wife. She passed in 1998. I pray for you and your family to stick together to the end bc at the end all you have is family...
