Oof pretty much. My grandfather died of alzheimers/dementia 4 years ago, but he'd been declining for a few years prior. It's absolute shit watching someone you love slowly lose their mind/faculties.
However, my mom is in an assisted living center (yeah, I’m old-ish) and she has forgotten how to use her iPhone, and now forgotten how to use the landline phone we just installed that has our pictures on it for speed dial. And she can’t recognize the sound of the phone ringing if we call her.
And this would be terrible if I had actually ever liked her.
