Fortunately, they are unaware of it, when it's full blown..However, rarely, they can go on, and develop new lives, even marry, and function..Look into S.Day O'Connors husband,
she was a supreme court Justice, and this is what happened to her husband.Like (3)

My grandmother has slowly regressed to a childlike state. She'll ask for her sister or for her parents a lot. She is a full time job for my mom because she has to be watched at all times. By they way, they slowly stop being able to eat until they starve to death, so they can die from it. As of now my grandmother hardly eats anything. It is a horrible horrible thing that I wouldn't wish on anyone

I once worked in a nursing home there was this poor old lady who had full dementia.When she was younger her daughter was kidnaped and murdered every morning this poor old lady would wake up and be back to that day her first question being have you seen my daughter she was ment to be home by now,you wouldnt contradict her there was no use but you would see her get more and more upset as the day wore on.
The reason i am bringing this up is to tell eveyone out there if you have any past hurts upsets or regret get councelling now because you dont wont to relive it every day if you get alzheimersLike (2)

There is a great thing someone wrote called The 10 Requests of an Alzheimer's Patient that says what the Alzheimer's patient would say if they could express what they are truly feeling. Here's a link to the blog post:

Unfortunately, that is something we will never know, but to observe someone with it, it is not something we would want to know..... my mother-in-law was the sweetest person you could meet, but, her personality was the reverse in time... I tell my daughter that I will be a model patient for her to look after.
