My mom got diagnosed with early onset alzheimer’s back in 2009 when she was in her early 40s and she lost her mind a couple months after, but she still lives to this day only it’s not her anymore if that makes sense. I hear lots of people say they lost their loved ones to alzheimer’s and it kills me that my mom can’t get the same fate because (I’m gonna get alot of hate for this) death is far more humane than what she’s going through at the moment.

Anyone who gives you hate over that statement can fuck right off. My father had Lewy Body dementia, and his death was, in a lot of ways, a relief. We lost him long before his body actually quit and for the last several years, all I wanted was for his suffering to end. It’s absurd that, as a society, we routinely accept that it’s inhumane to let animals suffer at the end of their lives, but we don’t give humans the same compassion.
