[quote=Anonymous]OP, I am thinking about you. I am a FTM with severe PPD and a mom who is only 68 with similar cognitive impairments. I livein VA and she and my Dad are in PA. She has not been diagnosed with Alzheimers yet (she has other health issues thathave caused the cognitive decline) but her own mom died at 72 and was in a home for 10 years prior to her death. This was in the 80's and we witnessed those terrible conditions that you spoke of. My grandfather had a nervous breakdown and was also hospitalized for the guilt he felt that he couldn't take care of her at home anymore as her disease advanced. It was horrible. My mom's biggest fear for the last 20 years is that she would suffer like my Nana did in a home like that. I am also an only child. I worry about the future - you are so on top of everything! You should be proud of yourself. Hang in there. [/quote]
