2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: HENRY FUCKING KISSINGER?? [View all]sheshe2
(98,581 posts)66. Do you have a clue about Dementia?
How about Alzheimer? Have you studied these diseases ? Do you have a loved one that suffered from it? A devastating disease that in the end breaks your body down. Long and slow it just shuts you down. Prior to their body shutting down, they are so confused. They lose so many normal functions. They lose their memory slowly they lose it every single day until they no longer known you. They no longer know you. He did not know me!
I spent four hours with my father on the night that he died. I held his hand as he slipped away from me.
Your post is incredibly cruel.
This is what DUers do now?
