I'm officially a widow as of this afternoon--update

5. Oh, I'm sorry.

I know the disease must be difficult to live with; a friend of mine had her husband diagnosed with that after a very scary year of memory loss, eventually turning to delusion (after the diagnosis, he went to the hospital, with the understanding he'd never come back, and then, maybe mercifully, got pneumonia and died within days).

His wife hid this from almost everyone, other than talking about the memory loss. But we figured out later she'd been stoically putting up with a lot, and for whatever reason, they didn't tell anyone till it got too much for her (they're both about 80 and she is very small, so I'm sure there were physical issues involved).

Bless you, I'm sorry this had to happen.
