Alzheimer...

In sickness and in health till death do us part...until death or dementia do us part...Would you divorce your spouses with Alzheimer?

Of course, not! Haven't you seen The Notebook?

Just kidding. That is one disease that I don't want to suffer from nor do I want anyone around me to ever suffer from it. I think that's possibly one of the worst forms of death. To die not knowing the life you have lived or the people you have loved. Just the thought of it makes me shudder.

I know it's easier said than done, but I don't think I could ever leave a loved one when they needed me the most. But I'm sure it would kill me inside a little everyday, knowing that he doesn't know who I am anymore. It's a terrible thought.

NO. not at all.

^ A beautiful mind is an amazing movie. I think that was the first movie I watched on my netflix, and I've watched it several times after :D.

@OP

I know the first answer I'd wanna blurt out is a "No way", but after I think a little deeper, I really don't know. I always believe it's important to place yourself in a certain situation to discern what it actually feels like. I hate having to give myself (and the other person) any sort of false hope, and by saying "no never, I will not leave" might be a temporary satisfaction in the relationship. On the contrary however, I don't know if I might stay "til death do us apart". I don't know because I don't think I could handle so much pain. Also, I do not believe in "forever", because nothing is forever. That being said, I might not divorce my spouse solely because he suffers from total Dementia, but if him being ill (like for Alzheimer's) escalates to a point that he needs help outside of my love and care, I'd be glad to give up what we have.

For all I know, letting go is the best decision I'll have to make for his happiness, if not for mine.

well I would actually euthanize them cause I wouldnt be able to take it

Reminds me

Then I wanna be ur neighbour...in case u need any help !!😆😛😛😛

@*Woh Ajnabee*...I agree with you that you should never leave the love ones when they need you the most, but then what if that loved one leaves for someone else cause they don't remember you...

@Angel-likeDevil...It's easier said than done! The Beautiful Mind, indeed was a great movie, but I had always wondered that with out Nash's madness, could he have been only another of the millions of people who have lived and then been forgotten and did his ability to penetrate the most difficult reaches of mathematical thought somehow come with a price attached...

@attitude.ash...I don't believe in "forever" either, and in the end we all look out for our best interest at hearts, so if letting go is what's good for both then I cound't have agreed with you more...

@mr.ass... I feel euthanize is being harsh, the person suffers from alzheimer where they have forgotten but have not forgotten how to live life...

@Summer3...Truly a touching story! I guess love is blind...

@Prometeus...I guess for people who have been unhappy all their life can truly be happy now cause everyday is a new day, a new life, a new person...

@Star_on_earth.. if only your remembered...
