The AS ad is sadly quite an accurate description of the situation a close friend of mine finds themselves in with their parents, who have been suffering from Alzheimer’s for nearly a decade and for some time now couldn’t be said to be really with us mentally any more. My friend and their siblings feel like they have done a lot of their mourning already and are just waiting for the inevitable at this point.
At the same time, when the disease first started to affect them and they were diagnosed, this ad would have been incredibly distressing for them.
