The

The proverbial shoe sure fits as it explains the situation.

Once it sets in, the individual's time tends to be short.

In my late husband's case, he was dx'd in Feb. and gone in May. It is highly genetic. Of the 10 kids in his family, seven died of dementia. A very ugly picture. Some were Alzheimer's others were Lewy Body and himself was Vascular Dementia.

He left behind 38 nieces and nephews and dozens of grand nieces and nephews. There is one living sister that last I heard was having symptoms of dementia. The descendants of this family are scared and not reproducing much due to this gene that runs in his family from Ireland.

The veins in the brain are basically shot to all hell and the behavior of the individual afflicted is erratic and bizarre at best. What a hell was for me.

Three months.

I appreciate your condolences. Thank you.
