However, I would still want to see them for the main reason I would always know who they are and what they meant to me,so in that context only they would remain the same person.
Not easy, heartbreaking to do but I would still want to do it and visit them and often too.
This is for me,I would never dream to tell or judge anyone else as to how they should cope with a loved one with alzheimers.
