No Vested Interest
No Vested Interest's JournalThat is one of the saddest stories I have ever read.
So many family members affected so drastically.
Having to live through the tragedy of your father's death, knowing that he had suffered so badly in his care for his wife.
Although it is common for Alzheimer's patients to act bizarrely and antagonistically, that is not always the case. Some just become sort of lost and unable to understand what is happening and then they have fears and anxiety.
Of course, there is the "sundown effect", wherein they become agitated and need extra care at night.
This all likely happened to you and your family within in the last few years, as you indicate that your mother is still alive.
I sincerely hope you and your family can find peace as you and she go through the final stages of her disease.

Thank goodness no casino near Gettysburg Battlefield as well.
Apparently there are enough opponents to keep casinos out of the immediate area.
All casino licenses for PA are taken, and with casinos not getting the revenue that was expected, it's not likely that there will be anytime soon/
Thanks for clarification. Orange county, VA, etc. mentioned.
According to Wikipedia, Walmart opened there in 2013.
Respectfully, not Gettysburg, PA.
I am no fan of Walmart.
I was just in Gettyburg 6 weeks ago and didn't see Walmart.
We did the auto-tour of the battlegrounds and visited the Eisenhower farm, etc.
I couldn't swear a Walmart wasn't there, but it didn't catch my eye.
You're assuming he is mentally stable.
I'm not so confident.
Bet he is hard to live with.
Remember - his wife tried to shush him in the theater, etc.
