Like I said. It's awful.

Any form of dementia is appalling not only for the sufferer but for their family as well
My mother in law had vascular dementia and though most of the time she was happy because she didnt know anything was wrong on the times that she was completely lucid she would become really depressed
as for my wife seeing her mum who was an extremely inteligent woman descend into not even knowing what time of day it is was horrific to say the least
We lost her this june to cancer and that to be honest (for her) was a release none of us knew she had cancer until 8 days before she died and now she is at peace.
Sorry for being so morbid but this story has bought it all back
