I keep feeling panicky because I feel like I'm forgetting who my Grandad was before Alzheimer's. In the future I don't want to remember him for just his Alzheimer's. Not sure if that makes any sense. Even though hes here i still miss him incredibly.
Yes of course you do, @misscrypticrose, it is normal for the territory.Even though hes here i still miss him incredibly.

I think that the good memories will come back. At the moment you are too caught up in the present situation, but after he is gone you will be able to remember again. At least, that is what has happened to me, my mum died 2 years ago, but I can now remember what she was like before dementia.
