I’m sorry, friend. I could have worded my comment better for you to explain I just wanted to do a PSA. I lost one grandparent to alzheimers and another to dimentia. I can’t imagine what you went through, but I can understand what it’s like to watch someone lose themselves. I know what you mean by certain circumstances being fortunate by time they emerge. The alzheimers grandparent lost communication skills and seemed trapped in his body but the dimentia grandparent seemed aloof to her conditions. There was morbid comfort among us seeing her fade.

I hope you found comfort and peace somewhere along the way.
