It’s called the long goodbye. Rapidly shrinking brain is how a doctor described it. As the patient’s brain slowly dies, they change physically and eventually forget who their loved ones are and become less themselves. Patients can eventually become bedridden, unable to move & unable to eat or drink or talk to their loved ones. There will be people who will scroll by this message because Dementia or Alzheimer’s has not touched them. They may not know what it’s like to have a loved one who has fought or is fighting a battle against Dementia or Alzheimer’s. In an effort to raise awareness of this cruel disease, I would like to see at least 5 of my friends put this on your timeline.

My siblings and I are going through it now. Praying for everyone who is in the battle.
