What an extraordinary conversation! Beautiful, informative, generous, brutally honest, funny, engaging, realistic, insightful, entertaining, emotional, awareness of what may lie ahead but living in the present, acknowledging that Alzheimer’s disease - whilst having some commonalities between those who have it, is an individual and different experience for each. Lived experience is so important, especially in demonstrating how one can live with the disease and as an advocacy tool. A serious health issue, taken seriously by both participants but all the more engaging to the viewer because of Greg’s attitude, sense of humour and insights of what is happening to him, how is manifesting itself, and how it affects himself, his family, and friends.

Thank you for being HONEST about your happenings during the days and weeks. I have Alzheimer was looking for a faster less TIME dying. However my death wish causes too much sadness for my kids who want to hang on to as long as possible. I thing that may change the longer I take to die.

Sharon Buss I am so sorry for what you are going through. My mother has Alzheimer’s as well, and honestly as much as I love and adore my mother, my greatest hope is that she doesn’t linger on with this disease. I hope your kids can see beyond their own feelings and understand where your coming from.
