My grandma didn't have Alzheimer's, but suffered dementia and didn't know shit from apple butter the last three years she was alive. It was horrible. In the end, she had the mentality of a toddler, perhaps even pre-toddler.
I hope if I ever get like that somebody smothers me with a ****ing pillow. I was just at a nursing home over the weekend visiting my aunt (same place my grandma died) and just driving up to the place makes my flesh crawl.
Steel yourself. You're in for some bad times, and sadly, nothing but death will make it better. Hope it comes sooner rather than later. I know that sounds awful, but eventually you'll understand.
