Grandfather has Alzheimer's?

Alzheimer's is worst on family members, not the patient. After a while, the patient doesn't really know what's going on or who they are, as their brain slowly spongifies. You won't have to watch him decline in functioning, so you really don't have to deal with it if you don't want to, but your parent whose father is your grandfather will probably have a hard time. This is the natural order of things. I heard about something Confucius once said in response to the Emperor's query about the secret to happiness. Confucius simply wrote: father dies, man dies, son dies, meaning a father shouldn't have to bury his son.

Alzheimers is most difficult on the familt not the one that has it as in later stages they forget that the forgot something. My grandma just turned 90 and we are going through it with her...

It is sad and it can be very fustrating if you let it but I made a choice to embrace what life has given. I choose to think that she is not in pain or suffering rather learning things as if for the first time - I can sit and be upset that I have the same conversation with her over and over but I choose to laugh and smile and enjoy it everytime I have it because one day in the near future I will not have that opportunity

Remember that as a grandparent they have lived threw their chidren and now threw their children's children and that means that have experienced a fullfilling life

Don't waste time angry at what they have rather embrace every opportunity as though it was the first because with this disease that is what it is for them - make it enjoyable

Good luck

just prepare for the worst ! iam sorry

but my grandmother has it to ,and she's from bad to worse !!! she can't even leave the bed now !!!
