I've not had to journey that road with someone so close but I've watched it in a grandparent and its effects on my parents and tiptoed around the one afflicted... it is a heartbreaker for sure. Your words are so well-chosen on this one, Marjon, and you've set out a painful road to write but I hope that find solace at the end... ;) Thanx for sharing! ;)

Yvette, thanks for a very kind and good review. Yes, all the poems written during these three years of caring and adjusting were therapeutic. It forced me to give words to the swirling frightening thoughts in my head, and that helped to see things more clearly.
Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
You paint a true, but sad, picture of the ravages of this disease, Marjon. Your lines are poignant in their staements, but filled with imagery.
Line 4--delete those symbols where the apostrophe needs to be.
Your notes are terribly sad, too. How awful to know about this and not be able to do anything about it. I'm glad you were able to enjoy your classical music.
Respectfully, Jan

Comment from royowen
I can't begin to relate dear friend, but I know from others that have been exposed to a spouse who has inherited it. But I'm grateful for you exposing your experiences and although I can experience it vicariously, it's good to share. No one can walk in another's shoes, but one can walk alongside, beautifully written Marjon, blesskngs, Roy

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
Unless you have lived with someone who is going through this hellish illness, the person who knows, and forgets, then knows again, and more so the carer who has to watch the person they fell in love with, slowly disappear, no one could possible understand how devastating this is. I feel for you, Marjon, you must have had such a sad time living that way, knowing there was nothing you could do to take it away. Your poem is so sad, so poignant. Sending you a hug, my friend. Sandra xx
