alzheimers is intensely cruel to your family. my grandad had it and it was a blessing for everyone including him when he got liver cancer and died from that. alzheimers kept him from realizing he was in pain from the cancer and the cancer put him out quickly and brought us all relief. its an awful thing to say but it was a blessing. you wont know how evil alzheimers is until someone you love has it. i dont wish it on ym worst enemy
alzheimers is one of the worst diseases i can think of

Yes it is. My grandfather had it as well. & it was probably the hardest thing I ever dealt with in life. When someone you love & we're so close with is looking at you & has no clue of who you are or really who they are. It's kind of like a prolonged goodbye because they are still here, but they are gone at the same time. Also agree with you, it was kind of a relief when he passed because I knew he was at peace.

ALS
The only gift with either is there is an end in sight with ALS, most ALS patients are gone within 3-5 years while AD drags out 10, 15, and 20 years. No disrespect to anyone who has endured either, I envy you nothing as both are horrible diseases, but at least you go before every ounce of your dignity is gone and rapidly enough that it doesn't kill the people you love as well.
Fight On!
