My mother in law is dying this evening. She is 99 and has had Alzheimer's for more then 14 years. She is fighting death just as she fought in life. It is sad to see the life go out of her. She expressed herself in music, in art, in cooking, entertaining, and telling everyone who would listen her ideas...that were always right! I'm writing a book about her and me struggling with this disease Alzheimer's. She taught me more than all the books on the subject. There is nothing like living it.
For a personal mystical peek into the Alzheimer mind, read Still Alice. Amazing book about a bright woman and her going through the stages of the disease. Get it; you won't be sorry.
