It is always startling to me when someone I know, even if only through some make believe roles in make believe movies, dies and has been prior to her/his death living with a diagnosis of Dementia , probably of this or that type.   Someone found the press release Mr. Heston read announcing his...

    Thanks Richard - again for standing up and shouting to us all that their is hope.  I think all of you that come to our site and posts your thoughts and feelings and opinions are teaching us this valuable lesson.

     

    Some may be interested in reading The Day in the Life of A Dementia Sufferer.  It is the chronicle of our expoert Leah's journey with vascular dementia.  She is very special and really a great lady!

     

    All the best, sue (moderator)

    Hello Richard.... 1st time at this site, just read your letter.  How beautiful. Thank you for your thoughts.  I am 66, dx 4 mos ago.  I already see people withdrawing from me in my life.  And I'm still almost, kinda, sorta, a bit, normal.  I used to be really funny.  Great sense of humor.  Now I am not so humorous.  My husband is wonderful through all of this.  He only gets on my nerves a couple times a day.......  But he is a blessing.  I feel as though I lose a little piece of me each and every day.  I have lost a lot this past month.  Our 4 adult kids.....  pretend Mom is just fine.  Let's not talk about her forgetting that we drove 10 hours to come see her for Easter. 

     

    Ooops.... Richard.... thank you for being here.  I hope I get to meet other people that are open and ready to talk about the BIG A word.

    Best to you..... Ruthanne
