#6 Get ready to grieve
I read a quote once that said; "One of the hardest things you will ever do is to grieve the loss of a person who is still alive." I have experienced that first hand. I often describe Alzheimer's as the grieving disease because you never find closure. I think I get use to the things that Grandpa does or can't do and when that changes, another part of him is lost to me. I have felt lately the periods between my grieving has lengthened. Not because I am getting use to it (that will never happen) but because each time there is a change there is less to lose.
