This. No way I am budgeting for skilled nursing or memory care. I will leave this world before that happens. Why do people think we were ever meant to live that way? Science makes our bodies live longer than they were meant to and left the brain behind. [/quote]

Having watched it happen a few times, the vast majority of people don’t do this even if they think they will. You still feel like yourself while you’re declining so it doesn’t feel like “time” and then it’s too late. [/quote]

Unfortunately this is true.  It’s not like the decline of dementia happens overnight, it’s a long drawn out process that takes years.  And even as the decline gets worse there are still moments of lucidity.  The absolutely worst part is they are aware of what’s happening and their increased limitations so it’s scary, and sad and frustrating.  I wish there were an option other than waiting it out as it slowly takes you.[/quote]
