People react to alzheimers in different way,this illness is one of the cruellest there is because it not only removes from the person all they had and knew.
It also leaves those that love them and even need them at times too, powerless and lost as as they realise the person no longer has any idea they are even connected to them in any way.

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.
