Great documentary, in his later days he seemed to be at peace with his life, which with that horrible disease is good in many ways, it obviously has a much bigger impact on those around the person.
Not sure about that mate. I have witnessed this first hand. The distress this causes the person is considerable. My father in law regularly forgot the death of his brother then grieved all over again when he got reminded (we quickly learnt to go along with the notion that brother Bill might pop around later). It is also a physical desease with one family member suddenly becoming incapacitated. In addition, there is uncharacteristic emotional and violent outbursts which are distressing for him and those around him. Just like Jack's son, we had some solace in the fact that he died of other causes before the dementia took all his faculties.Great documentary, in his later days he seemed to be at peace with his life, which with that horrible disease is good in many ways, it obviously has a much bigger impact on those around the person.
