I felt this one quite hard. I have two grandmothers who have/had Alzheimers. We lost my Greek garndmother 4 years ago. Taking care of elderly people in the current systems within society is so tough and so isolating. What's more it the illness carries a stigma and all the old friends often stop talking not only to old person but to their families which is further isolating. Thank you for sharing it really is wonderful to come upon a piece of writing which reminds you of some struggle you have.
