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.

Alzheimers is the slow degradation of the brain. Eventually what happens is the part of the brain that controls breathing, heart rate, etc will degrade and stop working. Typically before that point, however, death comes from other medical issues such as a UTI which goes unnoticed due to the patient being unable to bring attention to it.
Also, for what it’s worth, you’re not a bad person for thinking that
