SI tute today was about Alzheimer's/ dementia. Suffice to say that when the tutor put on the video of a woman in her fifties in the last stages of it, everyone went awfully silent and judging by the look on their faces, they probably had the same sinking sick churning feeling in their heart and gut. We've all been leading really sheltered lives it seems. It's so wrong to see a mother feeding her adult daughter, it's wrong to not be able to enjoy your old age doing the things you love best, it's wrong to have to watch a loved one go like that... it's just so cold and cruel.
