Just here because my mom was a Tennessee native and she too developed Alzheimer's. When everybody told me to put her in a home, when I didn't know how I was going to keep my job and take care of her, when she forgot who I was, i never forgot who she was. With God and a small circle I was able to hold on till the end, she left us 3 months ago, I miss her. Even though she lost much of her memories, she still had her fire up until the end. " Shadrach ! ! " I ain't tripping yall that was our thing, love you mama, you home now.

I really loved her. I absolutely hate this disease. My mother-in-law is on the decline from it, and it's the worst thing I've ever seen. I can't believe it isn't being talked about more. We gotta figure this out and beat this horrible disease.

Pat Summit was the best women’s basketball coach who ever lived. It was because of her that I loved watching women’s basketball. She brought an intensity to the game. RIP! 😢

Morphine is the choice for deaths in Australia. They take your food then your water (monitored morphine dose) - then you die. That's the best we have in our society. My Mum went that way, not sure if was the best way, but our only choice - she had Alzheimer's. Loving women gave us boys so much love it was amazing, such a special women. I bring up my kids now with the love that was passed on. Would have been nice if Mum knew her son's name before she died. Such is life! Show less

Troy 01101000 01101001 the it is also the drug of choice here in the USA, although it is all done in a very discreet manner. I know I watched my mom walk into a hospital in Florida under her own power, she was 89 some Doctor decided that she had reached the end of her life and recommended hospice service. it wasn't her own physician. I watched as they did exactly what you described. Says a lot about a country how they treat the most vulnerable in society. Here in USA we are always touting " Christian values" but watch what we allow to be done in our name and you will know who we really are and it has nothing to do with any religious beliefs and values

The best thing to do is to donate her brain to science after she passes away so doctors could study it and hopefully come up with drugs that could prevent the build up of proteins and fiber in the brain. This is what causes Alzheimer's and Dementia.
