I can relate to the film because of Allie having dementia. My hubby had to be told several times what was going
on in the film. Tonight he did not know where we live.
Dementia is very painful for the patient and the caregiver. It comes and goes as explained in the movie till there is no memory at all.
Crying is contant in people with dementia and they are often fearful.
The film is a great learning lesson. My heart goes out to all who have to deal with dementia!
It must be a real struggle dealing with this illness - my sympathies are with you.
