people never realize what we mean by that phrase
it means unable to read anymore, or understanding
losing the ability to cook or drive or tell where it hurts
how can we tell them our loved ones are not able

their inability to handle finances or take medicines
not being able to control going to the bathroom
knowing how to dress themselves or what to eat
comprehending what they see one t v or hear on radio
how can we tell them our loved ones are not able

or that they panic at being left alone theyre afraid
things become unfamiliar or they get lost easily
they dont sleep well or sometimes sleep too much
they forget who you are or anyone for that matter
how can we tell them our loved ones are not able

there is so much they feel so much they fear
people need to know this is what alzheimers does
they need to understand and sympathize both
sympathize the caregiver and sympathize the victim
how can we tell them our loved ones are not able [comments] => 1 [counter] => 164 [topic] => 39 [informant] => maryetta [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Grief )

My heart goes out to you maryetta.
This is reality and boy does reality bite.
I really do sympathize for the care giver and the victim for what they go through.
Peace and blessings to you.
Thank you for opening ones eyes on the harsh reality of alzhemirs, its victims and its care givers. Take care my friend
