That's harsh news for sure.

Share as much or as little as you want. At least for me, sharing makes me feel better.

Hi John,
I'm very sorry to hear your news. I lost my Mother to Alzheimer's 2 years ago after a 10 year battle. Damage to the brain is extremely upsetting for it is where the 'I' resides. My brain injury (Stroke/TIA or something else) caused a lesion through my occipital region, affecting my eyes. I wonder every day whether I will have another Event, so I understand somewhat where your thought processes must be.
Anything I can do in the way of support, just ask.

Dave.
