One of the ongoing struggles many of us face in life is coping with a relative or loved one who is diagnosed with Alzheimer's or with other related dementia. The author lost her first husband at the age of 38. Years later, her second husband was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. Here is the story which moves from initial denial to eventual acceptance. Very nicely done.
