I'm 27.My grandad has been suffering from alzheimer for 4-5 years now.He decreased rapidly when he hit 65.He is now in hospital care.we saw the symptoms a long time back before this but to no avail it took him.His mother and father both suffered with it and I saw them every Saturday in my youth until their death.It didn't register back then what it actually was or did.
My grandad fell ill about a year before his 65th birthday.Thats when I noticed it anyway.
My grandad was some man.I just can't find the way to deal with the fact that my grandad,a strong,fit,man's soul disappears so quickly.
He is in hospital now.has been for over 2 years.H can't walk,talk or feed himself and if it weren't for my dedicated gran I don't know what he'd be like.The hospital are immense don'get me wrong.
I've just been trying to forget it is happening I guess.
It's tearing me up,he mean's everything to me!
I worry also that it will happen to me.
Help,am I normal to feel like this?
