How do people actually die from Alzheimer’s Disease?
In: 6615
From watching my grandma fade away over 8 years, my take was that she forgot progressively about everything; first daily tasks, facts, then people, places, feelings, proprioception, active movement, bodily functions, swallowing, sleeping, being awake and finally breathing. She was well taken care of and the whole family visited daily (we took turns as to not overwhelm her and the facility staff), my mom held her as a child in her arms the last day, when she finally sighed and closed her eyes. Forgetting to keep living is how we best describe it.
